The only situation that this comes up is if a creature is hiding from you, and they're within 10 ft. So...probably invisible, and also taking the hide action. If they're merely invisible, you know where they are anyway as per RAW.
That may be correct RAW (I am not interested in checking or debating that point), but that's dumb. And being dumb should be ignored. Should it be possible to locate an invisible creature? Absolutely, but without some sort of special sense or check you don't get to just know where they are, whether they are "hiding" or not. The rules are guidelines, and when they produce something that doesn't make sense, they are best adjusted or ignored.

The fighting style, available at level 1, is about 10 times better than this ability.
All the more reason, that moving it up is a small buff without any worrying balance implications.
