Introduction to the Advanced Map widget in Arduino Cloud. Track your IoT assets location in a dashboard

IoT asset tracking has become increasingly crucial across various industries and applications. Whether you’re a logistics company monitoring your fleet, a conservation organization tracking wildlife, or an individual passionate about outdoor adventures, the ability to track and visualize the movement of assets in real-time can be invaluable. 

Today, we are excited to announce the release of the new Advanced Map widget in the Arduino Cloud, a powerful tool that allows you to track the movement and location of your IoT devices over time.

What is the Advanced Map in Arduino Cloud?

Advanced Map is a widget, currently available for Maker and Maker Plus plans in the Arduino Cloud, designed to provide users with an enhanced mapping experience. Unlike the existing Map widget, which displays the current location of devices, the Advanced Map widget takes a step further. It helps you visualize the historical positions of your IoT devices over time.

This powerful widget not only allows you to monitor the real-time positions of your devices, but also shows their movement patterns and historical data. With this information at your fingertips, you can gain deeper insights about your assets.

Advanced Map opens the door to many asset tracking applications

The Advanced Map widget opens up a world of possibilities for various industries and applications.

  • Asset tracking for logistics and supply chain management: Monitor the movement of goods and inventory in real-time, optimizing delivery routes and ensuring timely arrivals.
  • Fleet management for transportation companies: Track your vehicles, monitor driver behavior, and optimize fleet utilization for increased efficiency and cost savings.
  • Drone tracking: Keep a watchful eye on your drone operations, ensuring compliance with regulations and enhancing safety.
  • Wildlife tracking for conservation projects: Gain valuable insights into the movement patterns and behaviors of wildlife, contributing to effective conservation efforts.
  • Personal projects and hobbies: Whether you’re an adventurer tracking your outdoor explorations or a hobbyist monitoring your projects, the Advanced Map widget offers endless opportunities for creativity.

Track a mobile phone

You can track a mobile phone with the IoT Remote app installed and the Phone as Device feature enabled. This opens up a new set of applications, from child or elder people care, to outdoor activities tracking.

Key benefits of the Advanced Map widget

The Advanced Map widget comes with a range of features and benefits:

  • Track your assets’ real-time position:  Stay up-to-date with the exact locations of your devices in real-time, enabling you to take immediate action when necessary.
  • Visualize historical position data: Understand your assets’ movement patterns by visualizing their historical positions on the map during a certain time. This feature empowers you to analyze trends, identify inefficiencies, and optimize your operations.
  • Follow in real-time the creation of the track You can visualize in real time not only the position of the device, but also the track that is being created.

In summary, with the Advanced Map widget, you can monitor your assets more effectively, reducing the risk of loss or misplacement and ensuring optimal utilization. The data provided provides you with valuable insights, enabling data-driven decision-making and informed strategic planning.
