By default, the Today Only box is checked; uncheck it and select another date by clicking on the Date field.

 

You can also select a different resource, to view their scheduled tasks for the day.

This feature also displays each employee's last known GPS check-in. Untick the Today Only box to display the last known location. You can also select different resources to view their scheduled tasks for the day, as well as their last known locations. 

Resources that have not checked in that day will not appear on the map.
