Now, there are two ways of finding your location
.
The first is using Cortana if you have Cortana activated on your phone. It should be activated normally if you live in the USA. If you don't live in the USA, then you can still activate it. To do so, you can find a video on this website to show you how to do that. So just search for that.

As you can see, Cortana has found my location

If you have moved around, and it hasn't actually updated your location, press the circles button at the bottom of the screen
.
That will refresh your position. Obviously, I'm not moving, so it's not going to move. But it would refresh if you've moved.
