Using the Tracking screen's Live History widget, you can view recent asset activity and watch live updates. Each asset's path will be color-coded to differentiate it from other assets you are monitoring. You can view the activity for up to 120 assets, with a maximum of a 24-hour period.


Note: On the legacy Tracking screen, this feature was part of the Map Layers widget and was called the History layer. The new Tracking screen (which replaced the old one in April 2026) improved the offering and gave it its own widget, as shown below.

To see how to view recent and live input events based on your IO profiles (such as Plow Down), go to Mapping Recent and Live Input Activity Using the Live History Widget.


To view recent driving activity and monitor it live, follow these steps:


  1. On the sidebar menu on the left, click .
     
  2. Click Tracking on the flyout menu that appears.
     
    The Tracking screen will open and display the assets of the group you have selected in the Group Chooser. (See Choosing a Group to View Globally for details on how to change your chosen group.)
      
  3. In the toolbar at the top right of the map, click the Live History icon ().
      
    The Live History options will appear.
      
  4. If it's not already chosen, select View by Asset.
     
    The Key section explains what the map icons represent (such as  for an Ignition On event).
     
  5. Click the Display History for Past Hours drop-down arrow and select the number of hours in the recent past for which you'd like to see asset activity.
     
    Alternatively, you can select the time value, type the amount of time you want, and then click the remaining value on the list.
    Caution: You can choose a maximum of 24 hours.
  6. At the top of the dialog box, click Select Asset(s).
     
    Options to search for assets by asset name, category, or route will be displayed.
      
  7. Click Asset, Category, or Route, depending on what you want to use for your search.
     
    The widget will be updated for the type of search you chose.
     
  8. In the Search field, type a character or two of the asset, category, or route name.
     
    Matches will appear in a list.
      
  9. Select the check boxes for the assets, categories, or routes you want to view.
    Note: You can click Select All to choose all the matches currently listed. The list shows only 20 items at a time, so Select All will check only the first 20 check boxes. To choose more, click Next. (The second Select All click would select the second 20 items, and so on.)
    Caution: The maximum number of assets the Live History widget can display is 120.
     
  10. Click Add at the top-right of the dialog box.
     
    The assets matching your name, category, or route selection will be listed, along with their type icons and number of inputs.
      
  11. Repeat steps 7 through 10 for as many assets as you need.
     
  12. Click Update Display.
     
    Path lines will be displayed on the map to show where your selected assets traveled. Each asset's path will have its own color. The arrows along the paths show which direction the asset was traveling.
    Caution: You might have to wait a few seconds for the paths to appear on the map.

    If the map doesn't center on the assets automatically, you can click the Zoom to Fit icon () on the toolbar. You may need to click and drag to get the map view you want.

     
    Asset activity will be updated in real time, with the map data being refreshed every 60 seconds. The events that occurred over the specified time frame will appear along the path, with the icons listed in the Live History key.
     
  13. You can click an event icon on the map to see a pop-up with detailed information about it, including the asset name, driver (if available), location, and when the event occurred.
      
    By default, assets you didn't select will be hidden.
     
  14. If you want to see other assets in the area as well, you can deselect the Hide Non-selected Asset(s) toggle in the Live History widget.
     
  15. Again, to move the visible area of the map, you can click and drag.
     
  16. You can zoom in and out by clicking  and  on the toolbar at the top right.
