# Asset Map
The Asset map widget allows you to view the current position of a device or its directional path within a selected timeframe using a set of points that represent the recorded data locations.

The Asset Map widget is available on the global dashboards.
{% endhint %}
In the **Widget options** modal, configure the following:
In the **Name** text box, enter a name to identify the asset map within the dashboard.
In the **Device Type** drop-down, select the **device type**.
In the **Data field** drop-down, select the **data field** that you want to display on the map.
In the **Devices** text box, select the **device** or **devices** that you want to display on the map. You can select multiple devices for the selected device type.
You can display a device on the map in two ways: either by its **current position** or by showing a **directional path with a set of points**.
### **Directional path with a set of points**
This is the default option to display a device on the map.
Click on the '**Path color**' color picker and select the color to apply to both the path and the points.
Choose the desired timeframe using one of the following options:
* Click on the **Last from** text box and select a predefined timeframe from the list. If the desired timeframe is not available, you can manually type a timeframe, such as '3 days', '7 weeks', etc. Note that '3 days' refers to the last three days, including today, for example. Here is a list of predefined timeframe presets: `1 hour`, `1 day`, `1 week`, `1 month`, and `1 year`.
* Define a custom date range by selecting the **start date** and **end date**, including the start time and end time too from the date pickers.
### **Current position**
Click on the **Current position** checkbox. The Path color, Last from, and Time range UI controls will hide.
Enabling this option will show the current/live position of the device on the map.
You can add more **Device Types** by clicking on the **+** button.
The following Widget options modal is configured for 4 Device types, for example:
Click on the **Save** button to save the configuration.
The resulting **Asset map** widget will look something like this:
