Background Navigation Service no option "Always allow" use location

[NickSlash]

Description

One of the recent updates has caused navigation to be a lot less responsive and there is a message ("the background navigation service requires a location provider to be turned on") that pops up frequently during navigation.

I had a look at the permissions for the app and there are two options, "deny" and "allow when in use". I cant be certain but I think that previously there was an "allow" option.

How to reproduce?

start navigation to any destination

Yes, we fixed couple of issues in 3.9.6 - and there is no "Always allow" this is a restrictions from Google Play but the app should be working fine now.

@vshcherb, I remember "Always allow" was there, and I had to set it to be able to navigate or record tracks with the screen off. Will it still work without "Always allow" or are there new limitations?
