Show My Location

The web map can show where you are as a blue dot, and follow you as you move — useful in the field for "where am I relative to that hydrant / turnout / gully?"

1. Tap the location button (a target symbol) at the top right of the map.
2. Allow location access when your browser asks.

The map moves to your position and keeps the dot updated. Tap the button again to stop following.

Notes

• Your location stays on your device. It isn't sent to the atlas or shared with anyone.
• If you're outside the atlas area, the map still goes to where you are, but the atlas's own layers won't be there.
• Laptops find their location from Wi-Fi, which can be off by hundreds of metres. Phones with GPS are much more accurate.
• Not every atlas has the button turned on yet. If yours doesn't, ask your atlas administrator.
