Thanks again for for help.

Our device my wife and i : smartphones Xiaomi redmi 11E pro
The problem was the same with a friend smartphone (Samsung).

For the photos below:

Photo 1
i just activated "ShowUser" in the designer page.

Photo 2
My screen initialization actually enabled the location sensor (capteur_position) and check if the phone location access is enabled (procedure called "location_settings").

Photo 3
When location change for the first time only, i center the map with the user location.

Excuse me for my english :sweat_smile:.
Thanks again.

It is not just a zoom thing is it? The more you zoom in on the map, the larger the circle gets.

This behavior is NOT a problem but a feature of some Androids.

  • the blue circle is an Accuracy circle that displays when you use high tile zoom values. The diameter of the Accuracy circle increases when your gps satellite fix is within a certain range value. The diameter of the circle changes with the LocationSensor Accuracy value calculated for the LS's most recent LocationChanged event. If you want to get rid of of the circle, decrease your zoom value. At low zoom values like 10 it will not display.

  • the yellow man is the default icon that shows when you use the ShowUser feature property of the Map component. The man icon becomes a green triangle in a circle it the device has had a recent location change.
