+## Adding the map card to your dashboard
 
-All options for this card can be configured via the user interface.
+1. In the top right of the screen, select the edit {% icon "mdi:edit" %} button.
+   - If this is your first time editing a dashboard, the **Edit dashboard** dialog appears.
+     - By editing the dashboard, you are taking over control of this dashboard.
+     - This means that it is no longer automatically updated when new dashboard elements become available.
+     - Once you've taken control, you can't set this dashboard to update automatically anymore. However, you can create a new default dashboard.
+     - To continue, in the dialog, select the three dots {% icon "mdi:dots-vertical" %} menu, then select **Take control**.
+2. [Add the map card](/dashboards/cards/#adding-cards-to-your-dashboard) to your dashboard.
+3. By default, you see the house {% icon "mdi:house" %} icon on your map. It represents your [home zone](/integrations/zone/#about-the-home-zone).
+   - To change the location of your home, you need to [edit your home's location in the general settings](/docs/configuration/basic/#editing-the-general-settings).
+

+4. To learn how to show additional zones on your map, follow the steps on [adding a new zone](/integrations/zone/#adding-a-new-zone-or-editing-zones).
+5. To show other elements on the map, either add them under **Entities**, or use the **Geolocation sources**.
+   - For a description of the options, refer to the [YAML configuration](#yaml-configuration) section. It also applies to the options shown in the UI.
+   - {% icon "mdi:info" %} **Info**: The list of entities shows the device trackers available for your home, such as a mobile phone with the companion app.
+     - If you want to see a trace of the past locations of your entities, you need to define a time frame under **Hours to show**.
+   - For more information about presence detection, refer to the [getting started tutorial on presence detection](/getting-started/presence-detection/).
