[BUG] - Location Services

[Jamie-Fairweather]

Before continuing...

• I agree to follow Atlas' Code of Conduct
• I have searched our issue tracker to verify that the issue hasn't been reported already
• I have searched the Atlas documentation beforehand for a solution
• I am on the latest version of Atlas, and didn't do an unsupported upgrade

Description

Locations services are not working. I'm not able to see my location on any map software/website.

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable location services in the atlas toolbox
2. Enable location services in windows settings
3. Set default location in windows settings (I don't think this part works, pressing save in the dialog and it seems to crash)
4. Restart
5. Access Google Maps and allow location access

Expected behavior

When using google maps or any other maps software, the browser/app requests location access, once accepted, your location should show.

Actual behavior

After some time, the following shows and location is not shown on the map

Atlas Version

Atlas v0.5.0 for Windows 11 24H2

Desktop information

(issue template doesn't have selection for 25H2)

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
DDR5 64GB 6000MHz

Additional content

I might be miss remembering this, but shouldn't there be a location setting in here?

Did you enable it in settings?

[Jamie-Fairweather]

@TheyCreeper Yes, I had it enabled in both atlas toolbox and windows settings.

I have since got it working via a cmd script (so seems the toggle in atlas toolbox isn't functioning as intended?)

The script:

@echo off
set "settingName=Location"
set "stateValue=1"
set "scriptPath=%~f0"

set "___args="%~f0" %*"
fltmc > nul 2>&1 || (
    echo Administrator privileges are required.
    powershell -c "Start-Process -Verb RunAs -FilePath 'cmd' -ArgumentList """/c $env:___args"""" 2> nul || (
        echo You must run this script as admin.
        if "%*"=="" pause
        exit /b 1
    )
    exit /b
)

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\AtlasOS\Services\%settingName%" /v state /t REG_DWORD /d %stateValue% /f > nul
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\AtlasOS\Services\%settingName%" /v path /t REG_SZ /d "%scriptPath%" /f > nul

if not "%~1"=="/silent" call "%windir%\AtlasModules\Scripts\serviceWarning.cmd" %*

(
    sc config lfsvc start=demand
    sc config MapsBroker start=auto
) > nul

(
    sc start lfsvc
    sc start MapsBroker
) > nul 2>&1

call "%windir%\AtlasModules\Scripts\settingsPages.cmd" /unhide privacy-location

set key1="HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\FindMyDevice"
choice /c:yn /n /m "Would you like to unlock Find My Device functionality? [Y/N] "
if %errorlevel%==1 (
    reg delete %key1% /f > nul
    call "%windir%\AtlasModules\Scripts\settingsPages.cmd" /unhide findmydevice /silent
)
if %errorlevel%==2 (
    reg add %key1% /v AllowFindMyDevice /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f > nul
    reg add %key1% /v LocationSyncEnabled /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f > nul
)

if "%~1"=="/silent" exit /b

echo.
echo Location services have been enabled.
start ms-settings:privacy-location
echo Press any key to exit...
pause
exit /b
