DM on different map?

Whenever I run the game as a DM I seem to be on a different map to my players, when I run the game as a player I can see my players and what they're doing, but as soon as I switch to DM, either through launching a new game or switching to GM in settings, I go to a different map where I can't see them. Please help
When you log on as a player, you'll see the map where the party flag has been placed. When you log in as GM, you'll be on whichever map you were when you last logged out as GM. Also, as GM you can move to whichever map you need or want to be through the page menu.

Hi Crow,  In the image below, #1 (green) is the yellow ribbon where the entire group is located.  #2 (red) is the blue ribbon where one player has been moved, separate from the group ribbon.  #3 (blue) is the map the DM is on, indicated by the pink border and tint.  To move the group ribbon, either drag the yellow ribbon (green box) or the yellow ribbon at the top right corner.  To move the individual ribbon, either drag the blue ribbon (red box) or the blue ribbon at the top right corner. You can also set up more individual ribbons by clicking the top right corner (yellow ribbon area) and checkmarking those you want in a new ribbon, then move them.  To move the DM, just click on the map you want. 
Thank you so much for helping! I didn't actually know that's what the yellow ribbon represented.
