Spot Geo-Fence Alert Not Triggered
If only the first of two nearby spot-fence alerts fires, the POIs are overlapping — only the POI the vehicle touches first triggers. Edit the POI perimeters so they don't overlap.

Cause and fix
I have created two Points of Interest (PoIs) (pickup and drop off) inside my factory compound, that are close to each other. A spot fence alert has been set for these PoIs to notify me of pickup and drop off trips. However, the spot fence alerts are generated only for the first PoI.
It is more likely that these two PoIs are overlapping. When that happens, only the alert for the PoI that the vehicle touches first is generated. You’ll need to edit the perimeter of the PoIs in such a way that they are not overlapping.
Step 1: Go to MapView
Step 2: Click “Show Right Pane”
Step 3: Click “Manage PoI/Zones”
Step 4: Analyse both PoIs
Analyse both the PoIs and understand where they are overlapping
Step 5: Adjust PoI buffer
Adjust the buffer of these PoIs so that they do not overlap
Step 6: Set PoI Perimeter
Alternatively, you may set the perimeter using rectangle or polygon options to avoid overlapping

Shows: The MapView PoI editor setting a fence perimeter with the rectangle/polygon drawing tools so the two PoIs no longer overlap.

Step 7: Play vehicle track/history
Play vehicle track or history to make sure that the vehicle enters the second PoI.
