# View or manage the location of an asset

It is possible to visualize the location of your assets on your home dashboard. For this to work, the **Show Indicators on Map** toggle switch for the asset group the asset belongs to, must be active.

Click on **Assets** in the navigation menu, and go to the **Groups** tab. Select the group your asset belongs to, verify that the **Show Indicators on Map** toggle switch is enabled, and press the **Save** button. In the navigation menu, click on **Home** to view your home dashboard.

Use the **Search** bar in the **Asset overview** section, to quickly find your asset. Click on the **tripple dots icon**, and select the **Show Asset on map** option.

The map will update to reflect the last known location of the asset, together with a coaster showing the asset’s name, favorite sensors, and four buttons. When you hover over a button, a short description of its function will appear. The second button (the cross-hair) lets you manually, and precisely, position the asset on the map. Click on the cross-hair button to open the **Move Asset** panel.

Drag the asset to the preferred location, or enter an address or coordinate below the map. Press the **Save** button to finalize your settings.

> [!WARNING]
> Attention!
> 
> Manually positioning your assets is only possible in the **Home dashboard**.
> 
> When viewing a **Detail** or **Overview dashboard**, the **Google Map widget** always shows the last known GPS coordinates (and only when the asset transmits GPS coordinates).
