When I am looking at one of our maps in umap on my iPad mini how can I see a GPS marker of my current location? Google Maps and Apple maps let me do this. Maybe OpenStreetMaps can't do this? |
On umap you can have a "more" button on the left. When you press it, a number of controls show up. One of them is the "Center map on your location" However, I believe the map maker can turn off this menu in the settings for the map. |
Are you talking about openstreetmap.org? This is what I see when I open that on my iPhone:
...or are you using a different website or an app? @perla-rt: please mention this in your question text next time. There are really too much OSM-based maps and services to guess which one you mean.

Third button down at the right-hand side is "Show My Location" - does that work?

I don't have anything on my right side of the screen (on my computer or iPad mini - what I use while walking around, on the iPad I use Safari browser to see the map). I have an icon (on the left side) that looks like a gun site http://ec.l.thumbs.canstockphoto.com/canstock3236911.jpg that erases the map and replaces it with a super close up that is almost useless and I guess is the best guess at where I am. But it doesn't result in a active marker of my location on the map as I use it (as Apple and Google Maps - and other maps do).
