The current position with the pulse icon is not my position. How to set my current position? On mac desktop
using chrome browser.

If there is no GPS signal, it is probably showing
Alice Springs !

Thank's for your message.
I think the desktop / browser version is not working to set your current location on apple mac. It just shows
randomly each day a different current location. On other map apps it works fine.
Hopefully I am not the only person with a mac here.

G'day
Broome........
Try this ...... Turn on Location
Services
On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, then click Privacy. If the lock at the bottom left is locked , click it to unlock the preference pane. Click Location
Services on the left. Select Enable Location
Services
I just found that my location wasn't showing on my Mac either, so checked on the net. Did the above and now my location is showing.
Then , when you go back to the
EOTOPO maps, click on the symbol in the top right corner.
Hope this works for you.
Cheers
Jim

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the reply.
I did this all before, also tested it with "find my mac", and the location was working, but still no luck in exploreoz.
Because it is working for you, I had another look at location
services.
I unticked "find my mac", and it was working, showing my current location. Thanks again.

After next login, current location was wrong again and I was not able to make it showing again correctly.

Interesting ! I have just turned on my computer after being away for a couple of days and had turned it right off. Checked the map and when I clicked on the "where you are" icon, the correct position came up.
So I don't think I can really can't help any more .
Good luck .......... try giving Michelle and David a go. Use the Help Desk at the bottom of the page.
Cheers
