• In urban environments, where the cell towers and WiFi routers are more dense, geofencing
accuracy can reach 100–200 meters.
Note: If you live in a skyscraper, geofencing might not work reliably due to GPS
inaccuracies. Using the Large radius setting might help.
• In rural areas, where cell towers and WiFi routers are sparse, geofencing accuracy can
reach several hundred meters.
To improve geofencing accuracy, make sure that your mobile device meets these conditions:
• WiFi is turned on.
• GPS or location services are turned on.
