Showing entities on the map

How do I get an entity to show up on my map?
I can get it to show on the map in a lovelace map card but it won’t come up on the main map on the left panel.
All my zones are showing…but none of the tracking devices.

Are your tracked devices home? Devices with state home don’t show on the map.

Oh ok.
I’lI have to take your word for it, I only have access to HA locally so I will not be able to check this… mmmm!

It’s mentioned in the docs:

Look at the blue note

If you add a map card to your interface, it will show you when you are home:

Did you ever solve this? I got my wife to install the app on her phone to solve this one.

What is the exact problem?
You are expecting to see a person on a map - and you do not see it, or what?
