Description

If I am inside and/or don't have a GPS or location of some sort, the camera does not every load when I swipe left. It instead sits on a grey screen and eventually a "no GPS" toast comes up perhaps, though often there might be a crash.

Can we make GPS not a requirement and/or just have an async process waiting for it? There may be many cases where GPS Is not available, such as underground, inside, etc.

Addressed here: https://github.com/guardianproject/InformaCam/commit/330ec3595252865e530943a9ad1517161ed29690 but the next step is to get the NMEA parsing properly on certain gingerbread devices.
