A Geofence is an area you can draw on the map in the Map Display Screen. Geofences appear
as an orange rectangle or square and can basically be as large or as small as you want to draw

that all entries and exits into or out of a preset area can trigger event logs and alert notifications.
You can have up to 30 Geofences per vehicle.
When a vehicle enters/exits a Geofence, the entry/exit will be logged into the vehicle’s activity log
with the matching entry (
driver will also receive a Geofence entry/exit message on his terminal.

overwrite all other stored geofences.
*These functions are security-dependent, and therefore not all users have access to them.
NOTE: A key difference between a geofence and a customer site is that a geofence is
programmed into the tracking device on a vehicle and is limited to 30. A customer site is only
defined on the Navman Fleet Manager Server and you can have any number of customer sites.
Use geofences for areas of interest where you want to be 100% certain that a vehicle has passed
through regardless of whether they stop or not. A geofence can be used to define an area of
operation that a vehicle works within. You can then later determine the time and distance that a
vehicle spends inside that geofence. Use customer sites when you know that a vehicle will be
stopping and you want to record how long that vehicle is stopped there or you want to define a
location for general reporting purposes.
