Klokan Web-App is a website that runs, like all websites, inside your browser. What Klokan can do is therefore limited by what your browser can do.
If Klokan needs your GPS-location, it gets it by asking the browser. The browser will ask the user for permission.
To use the GPS, the Location Service must be turned ON in your phone's settings, and the browser (Firefox, Safari, Chrome etc) must be allowed to access the GPS fine location.

The same applies to the Camera.

Unlike in the Apps, Klokan Web-App can not prevent your phone from going to sleep. When the phone goes to sleep, al communication with the Klokan Service stops and you won't see this driver or passenger showing up.
So, when using Klokan Web-App, it's best so set a larger screen timeout in your phone's settings.

The Klokan App will ask for all needed permissions (Camera, GPS, Storage). GPS should be turned ON in the phone's settings.
GPS is only needed along the road. With the GPS location, Klokan can calculate the proximity between drivers and riders. To save battery, GPS is only turned ON when needed.

The iPhone will ask for all needed permissions (Camera, GPS, Storage). GPS is only needed along the road. With the GPS location, Klokan can calculate the proximity between drivers and riders. To save battery, GPS is only turned ON when needed.
