Seems after latest update where new icons were added that “show my location” (the arrow) on a map layout seems to have gone broken

Edit: iOS 12.3.1. IPhone 7

Hi Tonton

My french is not good at all - some thirty years ago I studied french - but google translate can do a bit 🙂

It might actually be working - but not in the way I would like. I experience that you have to click the arrow **twice** before my position is shown. This is very counter intuitive. You should only need to click once.  
I experience it on iPhone 11 pro, iOS 11.3.1  
@mark - is that something that you will look into?

Merci Krivo de ta réponse  
Il me semble que cela remarche depuis quelques jours ?? est ce une illusion ?

En fait je cherche à enregistrer cette position en cliquant sur un bouton …une idée ?  
Merci d’avance

You cannot save the position of the user - you can vote for this in the feature request app. [https://features.staging.glideapp.io/](https://features.staging.glideapp.io/)

The functionality for showing users position is working I believe - but not as I actually would like it. See my comments in previous post

bonjour il me semble que cela marche maintenant : un appui pour autoriser l’appli et un appui pour afficher la position…Au 2eme passage sur la page je n’ai besoin que d’appuyer 1 fois  
En revanche je regrette que l’on ne puisse pas changer le fond de carte (vue satellite) ou faire un zoom manuel (lat ,long , **10z** par exm)… Je n’ai pas trouvé ces sujets ici …?

I’m still not great at french - but you keep writing me in french - well maybe that is better when google translate works 😉  
I haven’t used zoom for the map - but I have used zoom on a google maps link which can be reached by clicking a button in the app.That works fine.

I would like to see that maps functionalitet enhanced quite a bit - it could give some new great possibilities.
