Will requiring "Enable Location" negatively affect user perception?
I'm not a mobile phone poweruser, so please bear with me.
Let's say I'm developing an app whose sole purpose is to display the closest FloridaBestTacos restaurants to my current location of Florida. It will have the usual list (closest first) and a map with the markers.
My question: do users frown upon an app that requires the user to enable "Current Location" to the point that the app cannot be used unless current location is enabled?
I've been researching apps and haven't found a single popular app (with map and markers) that actually requires current location to be enabled.
I've also been trying to search for apps that are location-specific (ie. a map that just works in Texas), but haven't had much luck either.
