As @uzo said, you need the following:

1. A column that will store the locations. Call this column “Location”
2. A Location component that when toggled on, will write the user’s GPS coordinates to the Location Column
3. A Map component to display the location on a map.

Please read these articles:

> **[Location component](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/topics/components/pickers/location-component)**
>
> Log your current location

> **[Map layout](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/topics/ux/layouts/map-list#user-location)**
>
> Display your items on a map
