Interacting with the widget
- Clicking on the marker on the map displays a tool tip bubble containing the Thing's key, name, and the timestamp of its current location entry.
- The optional View more link is determined by the widget's configuration and loads that configured page when clicked.
- The map displays the Thing's historical location records as a path which terminates at the Thing's marker unless the "show current location only" checkbox was checked.
