So what is supposed to happen when you press the location button? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/3/385d78adcf628350fc6ee380e1b40680d143204d.jpeg) If your location is supposed to show on the map, assume that it won’t work if your in another country as the scale of map and usefulness ,of showing your location, becomes an issue. ---

It pinpoints your current location on the map so you can see how close you are in relation to the other points of interest. If you’re in a different country, then there probably isn’t a reason to press the button, other than it being fun. ---

Not sure it works anyway if your in another country, there must be some radius or tolerance built in ---

It might not work if you’ve blocked the ability for that site/app to get your location. I usually get a pop-up to block or allow location sharing. If I block it, then the location button doesn’t work for me. Otherwise it’s working just fine for me. ![Screenshot_20191105-083045](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/1/1fcf3ac9e64447c6f0a68ed29aef2ffef3b639c5.png)
