π§ Managing Geofences in CoreGPS
Geofences allow you to create virtual boundaries on the map β so you know when your vehicle enters or exits key locations like home, work, or storage sites.
With CoreGPS, setting up geofences is easy and powerful. Hereβs how to get started.
π What is a Geofence?
A Geofence is a virtual perimeter on the map.
Once configured, you will receive instant notifications when your vehicle:
β Leaves the geofence
β Enters the geofence
Example Uses:
- Get alerted if your car leaves home
- Know when vehicles arrive or leave job sites
- Monitor caravans or boats in storage areas
1οΈβ£ Quick Add a Geofence (Using Current Vehicle Position)
Quick Add makes it simple to create a geofence on-the-spot, based on where your tracker currently is.
- Open CoreGPS Manager mobile app or web portal.
-
Select your device β View the current location map.
- Tap the "..." Icon to create geofence from current position.
β
- Enter a name and radius β Save.
β
Quick Add is best for simple, fast geofences.
π Notifications
Once your geofences are setup, the default configured CoreGPS notifications automatically sends alerts to your mobile app and email when:
- Your tracker enters a geofence
- Your tracker exits a geofence
Make sure you have Push Notifications enabled in your app to get real-time alerts.
π¦ Managing Existing Geofences
You can edit or delete geofences at any time:
- Go to Settings ->Β Geofences in the Portal or App
- Select the geofence you wish to modify
- Click Edit or Delete
Changes take effect immediately.
π¨ Important Notes
- Always test your notification by driving in / out of your newly created Geofence.
- Your account will have a default set of Notifications created. These can be viewed in Settings -> Notifications.
- Geofences are processed server-side, so alerts work even if the vehicle temporarily loses signal and comes back online.
- Notifications are instant as soon as the tracker reports its new location outside or inside the geofence.
- You can create multiple geofences for different purposes (eg. Home, Work, Storage).
