A white dot should show your current GPS position.

If the white dot does not show, close, then reopen the App and check the map again.

Head to the Weather Routing Map page in the Offshore App.

Open the way points icon, top right.

Click on the arrow with a circle around it beside the start way point, you should see the GPS co-ordinates change to your current position when you tap it. To double-check, move the start way point away from where it is, then click on the arrow again and see if the way point numbers change, and the start way point will snap to your position.

Please note, it is not possible to display the white dot within the Offshore App on your laptop based on your IP address.

You can also manually enter the GPS co-ordinates into the Offshore App from your chart plotter into the start way point box as a last resort. Check the co-ordinate format is the same.
