Q: Why do I need my locations settings turned on?

Argo uses your location to show you where you are on the map and to assist with navigating. You need to set your location setting for ‘Always Allow’ or ‘All the Time’ so you will not lose your track and other key voyage info when the app is in the background or closed. This will ONLY be used when you are on a voyage.

Q: The Decimal Degrees (DD) gps coordinate format requires a minus sign for longitude, how do you input that?

The default longitude is West (minus sign). As you start typing a longitude into the entry field the minus sign will automatically appear. To change to East and remove the negative sign tap on West at the top of the keyboard, this will allow you to toggle the negative sign on/off.
