# Use the scheduling map and technician status

Use the map and status indicators when the office needs to understand where technicians are and what stage each visit is in.

## Technician status

Scheduling can show statuses such as scheduled, on the way, clocked in, completed, and ETA when those signals are available from the mobile app.

## Map view

The map view helps dispatchers see technicians and work geographically. GPS visibility depends on your business settings, technician permissions, and whether the technician is en route or clocked in. If a technician does not appear live on the map, check whether GPS is enabled, whether they have location permission on the mobile device, and whether they are currently in a trackable state.

If you need map or GPS visibility and it is missing for your role, contact your business's administrator to review your access.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

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

```
GET https://learn.withessential.com/customers-and-work/scheduling/use-the-scheduling-map-and-technician-status.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.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
