 Permission to access location services is requested each time the app starts ...but if you checked the "Don't show again" option while denying, the request won't appear again.. You can grant permission by going to the Android settings -> Applications -> VictronConnect -> Permissions, and then enable the "Location" permission. Another way is to uninstall and then reinstall VictronConnect.
