SPOTIO offers a convenient “Find Me” feature that allows you to quickly recenter the map around your current location, ensuring you always have an up-to-date view of where you are in relation to your surroundings.

This feature works as long as you’ve enabled Location Services on your mobile device or browser and granted SPOTIO the necessary permissions to access your location.

By using the “Find Me” feature in SPOTIO, you can quickly gain a clear sense of your current location and proximity whether you're on the mobile or web app.

Using the "Find Me" Feature

For SPOTIO Mobile App:

Launch the SPOTIO mobile app and navigate to the map view to open the Map View. Look for the Map Arrow Icon located at the top-right of the map, positioned between the Layers Icon and Lasso Icon. Tap the Map Arrow Icon to find your location on the map.

FAQ

Why can’t I see my location on the map?
Ensure that your device’s Location Services are turned on, and that you've granted SPOTIO permission to access your location. If you’re using a browser, check the location permissions in your browser settings.

Does the “Find Me” feature work offline?
The feature requires an active GPS signal and internet connection to recenter your location on the map. If you’re offline or have no signal, the feature will not work properly.

How accurate is the location shown on the map?
The accuracy of your location is determined by your device’s GPS and signal strength. Typically, the blue dot should be accurate within a few meters, but this may vary depending on your surroundings (e.g., urban vs. rural areas).
