well, I successfully added a location using my phone with v2.1 of the
Android app. Clicked +, selected "Current position", waited a while to see
it aquire a GPS fix (since I'm indoors) and then had it call /api/dive/add/
on the api server. I didn't see another call to that URL in my logs in the
past 19 hours - is it possible that the app failed to get a GPS fix and
that's why it didn't work?
