in maps there is a huge blue circle around my "current location" and I would like to get rid of it, and I did not do a "pin drop" either?

Hi there,

FWIW, This site is part of apple.com and they do indeed monitor this site for feedback and complaints.

They do monitor this site for those things. They don't monitor it for finding bugs to fix. They have other resources for that.

Just turn your wifi off. The circle will disappear until you turn it back on again.

The blue circle was really bugging me too and Mariowynjones method does work.

To keep the location, you can then put a dropped pin there and add it to favo(u)rites.

We live in a place where just the postcode is inadequate and for people who may not have apple devices and you want to send a route, use maps, use screen shot and edit that as .jpg to send anywhere

I have to chime in here. The art of complaints goes hand in hand with fixing something. I'm sure Apple looks at these forums for problems to fix as well as as place for users to help each other. The Maps 3D "Blue Circle" issue is an example of big companies fixing something...while a new protocol says "If you're fixing things they have to conform to "this and that" and "don't forget the underlined". As much as I like iOS, the "user friendliness" that Apple has implemented with recent updates to OSX has reduced functionality to such a great extent that I and other people in the creative media industries have dropped Apple's creative applications for the most part.

Thank you!!!! That circle was infuriating. Clicking the arrow did nothing but this worked instantly.

Thanks Johnnyboy !

Turning wifi off is the fastest and simple solution and works with any system 🙂

Can someone from apple answer us ? Most annoying as a result we have to use Google Maps instead, which I rather avoid.

Since this is a User to User forum whose terms of use indicate Apple does not participate except in the rarest of circumstances, I wouldn't expect that to happen.
