It was possible to configure a "Current Location Button" in WebApp Builder to use the current GNSS location of the mobile device.

I'm missing this option in Experience Builder, where I have to set my position manually using the pin symbol.

Thanks,

Markus

Thanks for adding the option to use the my location tool in the near me widget, but I have some problems with the usability.

When using experience builder on my Smartphone, the my location tool is fixed to the lower right of the screen. When opening the near me widget, the widget panel slides over the my location tool, so I'm not able to click the my location button.

I have to turn the phone into landscape mode, so that the my location button slides to the upper left, where I can reach it.

When turning the phone back into portrait, the my location button moves back to the lower right, but slides on top of the near me widget. (see video below)

I see three possible solutions:

1. the position of the my location button can be set to upper right or left (like in WebApp Builder)

2. add a my location button in the near me widget pane like in WebApp Builder

3. the my location button slides above the near me widget pane, when it is started (like after turning the phone to landscape an back to portrait)
