Geofencing is the ability to create a virtual fence or imaginary boundary on a map. After you create the boundary, you can set up notifications to alert you when a device moves in or out of the boundary.
What is Geofencing and how does it work?
Geofencing uses GPS (Global Positioning System), RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), Wi-Fi, cellular data, or a combination of all four technologies to determine the location of a tracked device.
Geofencing technologies and apps can do things like:
Geofencing is used in advanced location-based services to determine when a tracked device is within or has left a geographic boundary. To perform this function, the geofencing app accesses the real-time location data transmitted by the tracked device. In most cases, the information consists of latitude and longitude coordinates derived from a GPS device.
