What is Geofencing?
A GeoFence allows a customer to define a virtual geographical area to ensure vehicles do not go outside or into a pre-determined area. If a designated boundary is crossed, the customer will receive a notification or alert that can be delivered via email or text. GeoFencing provides greater control for people who are tracking vehicles. Whether there is a specific route or areas that are “off limits” for safety purposes, GeoFencing provides peace-of-mind that the vehicles tracked are where they should be at all times.
