Description
Since the app's beginnings, it had a bug where disconnecting the phone's data connection from the internet then reconnecting the internet will leave the app stagnant where vehicle data would never update unless the app is restarted or the screen is rotated. This update addresses this issue by handling this data and waiting for the vehicle updater to restart when internet is back.
Keep in mind that the added permissions may deter users from using the app. We only use these permissions for the above case so far, and in the future, we will be using this for polylines, too. We can ensure that we are not going to use this for other purposes, and this is reflected in the code.
Everything in 7.0b4 applies to this release as well as previous betas
