# Show recent object activity on the map

Use this setting to control how much recent object activity appears on the map.

This keeps the map focused on what matters now.

### Why this setting matters

A shorter time range shows recent activity.

A longer time range shows older activity too.

This helps when you want either a clean map or a broader overview.

### How it works

The map can focus on objects with recent activity.

By default, it looks back two days.

If you increase the time range, more older activity can appear.

If you reduce it, the map shows a more recent view.

### Choose the right time range

Use a shorter time range when:

* you want a cleaner map
* you only care about recent updates
* you have many objects

Use a longer time range when:

* you want more history on the map
* activity happens less often
* you need a broader planning view

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.out-smart.com/marketplace-packages-and-power-ups/power-ups/object-management/show-recent-object-activity-on-the-map.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
