LocoNav Polygon (Geofence) API
A geofence is a virtual boundary, often a rectangular bounding box, created using mapping software with specified latitude and longitude coordinates. Integrated with fleet management and telematics, geofences trigger real-time alerts if a GPS-equipped vehicle or equipment moves beyond authorized limits, enhancing security and asset monitoring. Use Cases Security and Alerts: Geofences can be established around construction sites where valuable equipment is stationed. If any equipment equipped with a GPS tracker is detected leaving the predefined area, immediate alerts are triggered, helping prevent theft and aiding in the recovery of the asset. Delivery Route Compliance: For logistics and delivery services, geofences can be set along specified routes or delivery zones. If a delivery vehicle deviates from the planned route or enters unauthorized areas, real-time alerts ensure adherence to planned schedules and prevent potential route deviations or unauthorized stops.
