Table of Contents Geo-fencing is an online facility to receive alert/ notification when a GPS Tracker leave the predetermined location. The alerts and location tracking are managed by the software application provided with a GPS tracker. Using this application, we can virtually mark an area in the location map as fence. So, the boundaries of the fencing are act as a trigger to activate the geo-fencing alerts. Why Geo-fencing is important in GPS Tracking? Geo-fencing is important in GPS Tracking because of its various application to tackle real life problems and security concerns. It ranges from securing the asset to safeguarding elderly people with serious medical conditions such as dementia. While live tracing is one of the best features in GPS Tracking, it is not always suitable for all situations. For example, a dog left in the house while the owners go to the work. To check up on the activity of the dog every now and then would be stressful and it doesn't always give the owner the peace he needed. A Geo fencing provides relief to the owner and provides an update to the owner only when the dog crosses the Geo fencing area. So, it is an important feature considering their application in various situations. Various use case scenarios of geo-fencing As we have explored how Geo-fencing works and why it is important, let’s take a look at various application areas of geo-fencing. In the automotive industry Automotive trackers have geo-fencing capability which the owners use for various scenarios. For classic and luxury cars geo-fencing is enabled while parking in the garage to ensure it is safe at all time. The owner would receive alert even he/she is abroad. Also, if you are new to the town and you have to park your car on a public spot at night you could definitely use geo-fencing in combination with other alerts such as ignition and vibrational alert. This will provide a much better security cover to your car Pet safety When it comes to pet safety we can talk about indoor pets and farm animals. For indoor pets it is important to have a geo-fencing enabled surrounding the house to avoid runaways. Especially for the new pet owners, it is a must have alert until they are well adapted to the new home. For the farm animals such as horses, cows and pig, the geo-fencing enables us to keep tab on them and ensuring their presence in the farm land without even checking the app every time. It is great tools if you have large number of inhabitants in a wide area. Elderly and Kids Safety Elderly people may tend to walk along the way and lose track of the way back to home. It may be due to dementia or other medical conditions. To have a GPS tracker with geo-fencing enabled in it, they can walk around the premises freely and care takers could always receive an alert as soon as if there is a change of course in their walking path. Similarly for kids, parents could use geo-fencing to mark various places in which kids will be for long hours. This will help to ensure that they are in safe hand at all time. How to ensure geo-fencing is working properly? The geo-fencing is relying upon various factors and characteristics of the GPS tracker. A tracker device with good signal reception in all areas is a must have feature above all others. User-friendliness and responsiveness of the app is also important to note. To ensure if the geo-fencing works as intended, we could do a test using a sample set up. This will help us to understand how fast the alerts are receiving and how accurate is the location in which the alert is triggered. But doing a test run after purchase would only be possible if the manufacturer provides 30 days return policy like that of PAJ GPS. For those who does not have the return option, the easiest way should be looking at the network characteristics and checking the demo app prior to purchase. Devices having 4G network connectivity and have global coverage such as PAJ EASY Finder 4G would certainly perform as the customer intended.
