If you keep the informal “tu”, you cannot switch to the formal “vous”. Keep the pronoun consistent.

Cultural Tip
In French‑language apps, the “point bleu” is the standard icon for the user’s current location, just like in English‑language apps. Because the phrase uses “tu”, it is best reserved for informal contexts; with strangers or in a professional setting you would say “Le point bleu montre où vous êtes.”
