Adding a new Geo-Fence - Online
A geo-fence is a virtual perimeter for a real world geographic area. A geo-fence
could be set around a neighbourhood, a school’s boundary or a residence. Once a
geo-fence is set up, a notication can be sent to an authorised number when the
GPS tracker enters or exits the predened area.

of the webpage
