  • Select the user you want to track.
  • Adjust the above options, then click “Show Results” to display the researcher’s path on the map according to the time and date you specified.
  • You can enable the Live Environment option to show currently active researchers on the map, displaying a single coordinate point of the researcher’s location during the last 30 minutes.

• From the top of the map, click “List” to switch the view from the map to a table, which includes the following data:
  • Username.
