Can the map view show current location as the old system used to?

Yes, you should be able to do this on both the Android app, or the website.

On the app, there's a crosshair icon in the bottom right of the map, which toggles the display of your location as a blue dot with an arrow showing the direction you're facing.

On the website, there's no icon displayed, but you can centre on your current location by clicking the crosshair icon in the top right of the screen.
