How to create a Geofence

When enabled as part of the Premium Tracking package, Geofences allow a user to track when a vehicle enters or exits a particular area, as well as gather speed data within this area.

Step-by-Step guide


STEP 1:

Go to Admin >Geofences and click on Add new Geofence



STEP 2:

Add the Name of the Geofence and the fleet Location (optional) 


STEP 3:

Click on the event parameter you would like applied to your Geofence.



Speed: Allows for parameters based on speeds created in the the Geofence. Please note that changing the speed threshold will update what the driver sees on their iFace in the Speed Assist app.

Undertime: Records if a vehicle leaves a Geofence under a set time frame

Overtime: Records if a vehicle leaves a Geofence over a set time frame

STEP 4:

Type in the address, enter in the location's latitude and longitude, or zoom in and out on the map to where you would like to place the Geofence.



STEP 5:

Click the Type of Geofence you would like to create:


 Multi point Geofence - Good for drawing on curved roads and most versatile

 Square Geofence - Used around basic structures like shipping yards


You can also change the colour and thickness line of the Geofence, which helps differentiate when you have several Geofences in an area


STEP 6:

Draw on the map to choose your boundaries



Tip: Provide an little overhang over your intended area to allow for GPS drift.


STEP 7:

Lastly, go back to the top of the page, and in the right hand corner you must apply the Geofence to fleets in your company. If a Geofence isn’t assigned to a fleet, then it will automatically be assigned across all vehicles in the company.
