Google Maps is a web service that provides detailed information about geographical regions and sites worldwide. In addition to conventional road maps, Google Maps offers aerial and satellite views of many locations.

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.

There are a few possible reasons why Google Maps might have shown your location in the incorrect place. Your location settings may be incorrect. Make sure that your location services are turned on and that you are giving Google Maps permission to access your location. You can also try restarting your device.
