# Tracking heatmap

In the widget, you see a **heatmap** that shows where a tracker has moved in the building. **Dark red areas** mean that the tracker was there often, while **yellow areas** show that the tracker spent less time there. You can also adjust the time period to see the movement for a specific time frame.
