    The map tab shows the movement history of the Thing for the date range in the form below it. The last known position is initially highlighted on the map and its information in the table below the map.
  3. In the Map tab, click on the  Previous and Next buttons to iterate through the historical records. While toggling through the history records the high-lighted position will change and the information in the table below the map will change to match.

If you face issues detecting small movements, this might be a direct consequence of the Debounce value. The debounce value is a number (in meters) used to determine if the location publish should be suppressed to avoid drifting in a small area due to inaccuracies in the location provider. The default value is 50 meters if this is not specified, indicating that if the location published is less than 50 meters from the previous location, then it will be ignored. Set to 0 to disable debouncing completely, or set it to a distance of your preference..
