GPS Shows unavailable if "high accuracy" is disabled
Not a Problem
Google refers to "high accuracy" as GPS PLUS phone and WiFi signals. I only want Locus to use GPS. If I set "high accuracy" off in Location Preferences, Locus complains the GPS is unavailable.
The same problem 
Hi Steve,
this is not a problem of Locus Map. Each Android phone refers to the "high location accuracy" when it uses GPS, phone movement and location sensors and local wifi networks. Otherwise it is "low accuracy" which is obtained only from the network of GSM antennas. When you turn off the high accuracy, you turn off also the GPS.

Apparently, they've changed the name of things, as after digging around in location settings, I found a selection to disable WiFi and Bluetooth scanning that according to Google, 'improves accuracy...'
Thanks.

Depending on the Android version, too. E.g. in A12 there is an option to switch off wifi/BT/GSM networks for location in system settings > location but directly at the app permissions settings, there is a switch to turn off "accurate location" that turns off GPS... That can be quite confusing.
