Very irritating having to wait for GPS to lock on after taking photo of fault.

I suggest either enable GPS when app is opened, or when selecting photo taking. This would allow the GPS location to be associated with the photo (although in error by the distance of the user from the fault) , and so allow the user to move away whilst completing the further details of the report. This would be a very useful safety and convenience issue as often faults have to photographed from the middle of a road or other poor location.
