Each Location can be defined using one of two geofence types Radius or Polygon.

​
Radius

A circular geofence defined from a central point (latitude and longitude) or derived from an address.
  • The radius can be set between 0.001 km and 1 km (approximately 3 to 3,280 feet).
  • Recommended default: 100 metres (≈328 feet).
  • Ideal for simple, evenly shaped areas such as depots, yards, or customer sites.
Use a circular geofence for small, regularly shaped areas to simplify reporting.

​
Polygon

A polygonal geofence defined by an ordered array of coordinate pairs.
  • Must include at least three latitude and longitude pairs.
  • The geofence boundary is automatically closed by linking the first and last coordinate pair.
  • Suitable for irregularly shaped areas such as large warehouses, airfields, or industrial estates.
When importing via API, ensure the coordinates are listed in order (clockwise or counter-clockwise) to prevent crossing lines or invalid shapes.
