Enable Location
Turn location back on so the player can find PulseMesh displays near you.
The player uses your location to find displays near you and to check that you're close enough to listen. These are the steps for the phone and browser you're using right now. If that's not your device, pick another from the menu.

- In Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services, make sure Location Services is on.

Why precise location?
With approximate location, your phone can seem to be miles from where you are, and a display you're parked in front of may not show up. Turn on precise location if your phone or browser offers the choice.
Don't want to share your location?
You can still listen. If the display has a sign with a QR code, scan it. If it shows a 4-character display code, tap Enter Code in the player and type it in. Some displays still ask for your location to check that you're nearby.
You can also use the PulseMesh app. It asks for your location the same way other apps on your phone do.
