How do I find my current location on an iPod Touch? The iPod Touch relies solely on wireless networks to pinpoint your current location. If you have a home wireless network (Wi-Fi) and your iPod Touch is connected to it, you should see a “Find Me” button on the top right side of the Map screen. When you press this button, AAA Discounts will find your current location on the map and show it as a pulsating green dot. If the “Find Me” button is not visible on the Map screen, make sure that: Your home Wi-Fi is on and operational Your iPod Touch is configured to connect to your Wi-Fi, and is indeed connected to it You answer “Yes” to allow the AAA Discounts app to use your current location (upon app startup) If the “Find Me” button is still not visible on the Map screen, it is likely that your home Wi-Fi is not registered in the Wi-Fi Reference Database, a global database that maintains the locations of all Wi-Fi access points. To register your home Wi-Fi in the Wi-Fi Reference Database: Go to skyhookwireless.com Select “How it Works” tab. Select the “Coverage” link. Click on “Submit an access point” link. Follow the instructions to locate your home on the map and submit your home wireless access point mac address. After a couple of weeks this information will find its way into the iPod Touch location services and the “Find me” button will appear on the top right of AAA Discounts app. If a couple of weeks go by and you still don’t see your location, contact Skyhook Wireless technical support or email support@skyhookwireless.com. [BACK TO FAQ] What countries are covered by this app? This app displays AAA Discount Locations in the U.S.A. and Canada. [BACK TO FAQ] What does the message "Bad Reception. Touch here to try again" mean? This app needs to communicate with our servers in order to serve up maps, locations, directions, and many other features. If a communications problem occurs while trying to obtain the data from our servers, the green status bar on the page you are viewing will turn red, and the message "Bad Reception. Touch here to try again." will appear. This problem usually occurs when your iPhone or iPod Touch has poor reception with either the WiFi or the Cell towers in your area. Simply move to an area with better reception and then touch the red status bar. This will cause the app to repeat the request for data that had failed.

In these cases, answer "Allow". Starting this app and answering "Allow" twice in a row will train the iPhone/iPod Touch to always allow location services to be used by this app. If your settings are not correct, or if you answer "Deny" to prevent the app from using location services, many of the features of this app will be disabled or not work properly. [BACK TO FAQ] How do I find and track my current location?

Your current location is represented on the map by a pulsating green dot . If you don't see the green dot on the map, press the button.

If you already see the green dot on the map, pressing the button will cause the map view to adjust by panning and zooming so that your location is centered on the screen. Pressing either the or button causes the map to enter Follow Me Mode. In this mode, the green dot representing your location will remain centered on the screen as the map underneath it adjusts to track your current location. As you move, the map moves.

Touch here to refine search" mean? This app will find AAA Discount Locations and display them, but will not display more than 100 at a time. As you zoom the map out to state and country levels, the app will stop automatically searching for locations in order to minimize searching when it is likely that the area has more than 100 locations within it. You can still find AAA Discount Locations by touching the green status bar. Doing so will begin a search from the center of the map until 100 or fewer locations are found, and then cause the map to zoom in on these locations. [BACK TO FAQ] What does "Dense Area.

Sometimes pieces of other apps on your iPhone or iPod Touch get left over in memory, effectively reducing what is available to this app. This app might crash when this occurs because it does not have enough memory to run. If you are experiencing this problem, hold down your power button and then slide the red slider to power off your iPhone/iPod Touch completely. Wait five seconds and then power your device back on. This should clear out the memory and eliminate crashes in this app. [BACK TO FAQ]
