Hey everyone! I’ve been trying to get my first VPS experience up and running and i’m hitting some road blocks. I found 2 tutorials on youtube and i followed them pretty closely. While using the “test VPS” feature in the Ninantic Wayfarer app on the iphone, it DOES detect the object that I scanned. I get a green check mark. But when I bring that VPS model into my project and go to test things out, it doesn’t localize anything and just says “scanning” on screen. Doesn’t seem to recognize/localize the environment. My VPS waypoint is activated. This is the video I was using (skip to about 2:40): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY47\_A6MsqU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY47_A6MsqU) ---

Hey Stephen! Have you [added the Location to the project from the geospatial browser](https://www.8thwall.com/docs/guides/lightship-vps/#managing-locations) and [passed the name of the Location to the `named-wayspot` component](https://www.8thwall.com/8thwall/empty-vps/code/body.html#L26)? ---

Thanks for your reply, Evan! Ok - I figured out the localization part. I had “precise location” turned off on my browser settings in my phone. Definitely an important detail. Now I seem to be having trouble getting my model to populate int he scene. Even tried desktop development mode and it’s not showing up. ![Screenshot 2024-03-22 at 11.06.45 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/x8thwall/original/1X/482c3bc81db39a4cf92a1ec2bf45919e6816b91a.jpeg) ---

Welp - nevermind. We can mark this as solved. The problem was in my blender export. For some reason the model wasn’t loading into 8th wall properly. Just needed to make a post on here to solve it. ---
