Ensure that the location settings are turned on, and the app has permission to access them. OS Maps uses the location as provided by your device. While the icon is highlighted, the map will centre on your location.

If your device does not have a GPS chip, if GPS is disabled or there is no signal (such as in a building or near tall cliffs) this will not work. This will use the GPS signal to find your location as accurately as it can.
Use the ‘find my location’ button to jump directly to your location (pictured by a target symbol).
