Hi there,

When using Google Maps within Thunkable, is it possible to show the directional indicator on the little blue dot? The Thunkable Documentation seems to indicate this [in the screenshot](https://docs.thunkable.com/map), but they’d also be the first nocode builder to say it’s possible. (It’d be amazing if this is the case!)

My goal is to create an app that can show where someone is standing and the direction they’re facing on a map while making their way to the next location.

Thanks!  
-Steven

Hello 👋 @ft_steven Welcome to our community!!!  
On the map component Advanced Properties there is a “[User location](https://docs.thunkable.com/map#advanced-properties)” If this option is true you are showing user location. Could you please try it?
