Refresh location in ConnectedDrive?

Anyone know how to refresh the location in ConnectedDrive? My new car is on a transporter to the shipping company in Enfield, it hasn't updated the location since it left the dealer...

I'm not 100% sure how it works but it only updates position after the car is stopped or opened/locked and not whilst in motion, I suppose it won't update until driven off transporter?

It is useful to find last position of car and instantly updates position on the connected app, it's far quicker than the old system on my 2012 car, the app had to request location from car manually which took forever and only worked within 1500m anyway

Thanks, looks like it. Just had an update at a motorway service, where it was locked and unlocked.
