self.locationManager?.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
if CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled() && CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus() != CLAuthorizationStatus.denied {
            locationManager?.delegate = self
            locationManager?.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBestForNavigation
            locationManager?.distanceFilter = distanceFiler
            locationManager?.startUpdatingLocation()
        }else{
            let alertView = UIAlertView(title: "Location Services Disabled!", message: "Please enable Location Based Services for better results! We promise to keep your location private", delegate: self, cancelButtonTitle: "Settings", otherButtonTitles: "Cancel")
            alertView.delegate = self
            alertView.show()
            return
        }


@objc(alertView:clickedButtonAtIndex:) func alertView(_ alertView: UIAlertView, clickedButtonAt buttonIndex: Int) {
    if buttonIndex == 0 {
            if let url = URL(string: "App-Prefs:root=LOCATION_SERVICES") {
                UIApplication.shared.open(url, completionHandler: .none)
            }
    }
    else if buttonIndex == 1 {
        //TODO for cancel
    }
