Is there any way to clear the location data on a map within the dashboard (gps location)
I do see the option “ Hours of History (0 for realtime)” but it doesn’t clear after the time I put into it.

You could clear the dashboard block's location data by sending 0's in the latitude/longitude/altitude metadata associated with the feed linked to the dashboard block.

Hi brubell,

I tried the method you suggested but it seems not to work.

I inserted some points, then one point with lat = lon = ele = 0, then some more points.

The dashboard keeps showing the old points before the all-zeroes point insertion, see figures...

Am I doing wrong? Any suggestion...?

Many thanks,

Valerio

I was incorrect. Each location will update a "pin" on the map block. You might want to delete the feed and start over.

Hi,

The map still shows old data even if the "Hours of History" display interval is set to a short time, for istance 24 hours...
The problem has been reported several times, in this topic but also here:

viewtopic.php?f=56&p=836266#p836266

Is it possible that the problem is so complex to correct ?
It just seems a matter of inserting an if in the plotting of the points on the graph...

Can we hope to find a gift under the tree for Christmas...?

Kind regards to you all, and many thanks for all your work...

Yes please fix this issue.
At this moment the map is useless because it keeps drawing maaany hours of history regardless of the configuration (if I configure it to just show 1h or realtime, it keeps drawing everything!).

At least provide a method to "clear" the data of the feed...

Thanks.
