Problem Hitting the Location Icon

I have a terrible time trying to get location icon (hit move to show where you are, and hit to orient the top of screen to forward) to register a hit. It can involve 10 or 12 tries sometimes. It never reacts the first time.

This happens on both my iPad and iPhone, so it's not the device. It happens even if the Jeep is still, so not the bouncing.

One solution would be to make the icon larger. Another might be to move it to the bottom of the screen, which has little around it and seems to register better than the top.

  I have the same issue and agree with the possible solutions. Another option that would be nice is the ability to lock it into one of these modes, like the directional mode. Accidentally tapping the screen wrong knocks it out of the tracking mode you have selected, forcing you to try and hit the location icon again (twice if you want direction).. which gets us back to the original problem stated.

  My suggestion would be to make the icon placeable, like the short-cut icons on Windows.  I use the cross-hair icon the most in order to conserve battery usage,  I also find it extremely difficult to select this icon being it's between the TIME and the scroll menu below it.  If I could place this icon somewhere on the map where it was easiest to access, it would make my navigation much easier. I live in Alaska the cold kills a battery and also a bare hand if I have to remove my glove in order to select a tiny icon.
