Add Geofence

Geofences represent virtual boundaries established around designated geographical areas. These areas can include various locations, such as warehouses, delivery zones, customer territories, or restricted regions, among others.

Uses of Geofence Feature:

• Geofences can be created to monitor vehicle activity within a specific area or to oversee trips between various locations, such as loading and unloading points.
• Additionally, users can be notified when a vehicle enters or exits these designated locations.

Geofences are created by specifying GPS coordinates and defining a radius around them. They can be categorized as area, road fence, stay-in, or stay-away zones.
