Geofence Entry & Exit Alert

A geofence alert tells you the instant a vehicle enters or exits a zone you’ve drawn — a depot, a customer site, a restricted area. The quickest way is to Watch a zone straight from the map; for full control, build a Geofence rule and choose the zone(s), or a whole zone category, and whether to alert on entry, exit, or dwell.

What you can set

• Zones — one or more geofences, or an entire zone category.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to build a rule, or can I just watch a zone?

Either works. Watching a zone from the map is the fastest one-click way to get entry/exit alerts. Build a full Geofence rule when you need multiple zones, dwell triggers, specific recipients or a schedule.
