The Map page offers a comprehensive visualization of your location-based activity data within a rich and interactive map interface. It's especially helpful for users who work in the field, travel frequently, or need spatial insight into how their time is spent geographically.
Overview
The map interface displays your tracked locations as pushpins with context-aware visual styles. It includes both default pins (representing visited places) and specialized icons for home, work, and your current GPS location. You can interact with the map using touch, mouse, or stylus, and detailed tooltips provide valuable metadata about each location.
