I downloaded the apk direct from github on my grapheneos. Although giving it all the proper permissions it's not able to view my actual location. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks in advance

From the last time I checked, the developer has been figuring out the location tracking API without using google services (unavailable on ROMS like LineageOS and I think GrapheneOS). The map itself used to not display at all if I recall. Happy to see it progressing though.

If you are inside, the GPS location might not be found. If happing outside, it could be because of a bad configuration of the systems settings.

You mean inside of a building? Yes i was. Still lets say the organic maps dont have any issues finding my location inside of a building with less permissions. Still thanks for the help. I'll give it some more tries.
