To get your current location on Google Maps, open the app, ensure GPS is enabled, and tap the blue dot or location icon. The map centers on your position. You may need to grant location permissions. It works on both Android and iOS devices for navigation.

Open Google Maps and tap the blue dot or the crosshair icon. Make sure GPS/location services are on, and it will show your current location on the map.

All you need to do is open Google Maps on your mobile phone and tap the icon of the little blue dot in the bottom right. That's literally it. It puts the map at your point of actual location. Do not forget to turn on the Location/GPS in your phone though or it will not work.

Go to Google maps - tap on the bullseye/target icon - use precise location.On PC using Chrome, you need to click the little lock icon on the URL bar - Location to Allow - refresh Maps.Then it will put a blue circle to indicate your position. Works in most instances but the GPS signal is weak (indoors).

Bro only come out and wave on the sky... Google Maps will know what you are feeling and indicate your position.It is not a joke, simply turn on GPS + tap the blue dot. And even then, it does not work, your phone doesn't need any rest.

There is no need to install something fancy. Google maps automatically identifies where you are.Then simply turn on high-accuracy.

No man, high-accuracy mode uses a lot of power. None except when you are in navigation. Normal mode is good in location checking.

Bro trust me, I've tested it. The blue dot does not dance around like it is drunk except that it has high-accuracy.

In case your position is not displayed correctly, empty app cache at least once. Happens a lot on Android.On the right, in the Settings, and under the Apps, Google Maps, Storage, Clear Cache.Open Maps then and touch the location icon. It instantly pins your spot.
