In the search bar, enter a destination or tap it on the map. Follow the on-screen instructions to help Maps find your location. Tip: Point your phone camera at buildings and signs across the street, instead of trees and people. Once Maps knows where you are, you'll get directions through the camera view on your screen.

Open the Google Maps app for Android. On the map, in the bottom right corner above the navigation bar, you will find the Your location button, which looks like a target.
