- Open Yandex Maps: Launch the Yandex Maps application on your device. If you don't have it installed, you can download it from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
- Locate Your Position: Ensure that the location services are enabled on your device. This will allow Yandex Maps to accurately pinpoint your current location. You can usually find this setting in your phone’s settings under "Location" or "Privacy."
