Re-center navigation map after zooming or moving

Once you are finished looking at another part of the map and want to get back to the current location:

  1. Move your hand close to the screen (assuming you enabled "hand gestures" in the setup)
  2. The map location button will appear
  3. Touch the map location button to re-center the map on the current location

Now the map is centered on the current location and the arrow is shown:
