Drawing the Geofence
	Click here for Important Information and Tips for drawing Viable and Reliable Geofences (1) Search for a Location around which to create the Geofence using the textbox OR center the map on the area where you would like to create the Geofence. (2) Click the button Create Geofence at Center of View Area  OR Right-Click the location on the map and select the  icon from the menu. (3) Adjust the Geofence area to fit the location as needed by performing the following: (4) Move the Routing Point icon to the location that will be used as the destination where drivers will be routed to for the Geofence.
Adding Detail to the Geofence
	(1) Name: Enter a unique name that will be used to identify the Geofence. Multiple Geofences cannot have the same name. (2) Category: Enter term(s) that will be used to categorize the Geofence, with each term separated by a comma or space. (3) Address: Enter the address of the Geofence. (4) Company: Leave BLANK to allow ALL VEHICLES to utilize the Geofence -OR- Select the Company to restrict Geofence availability to only the Vehicles assigned to the Company. LEAVE THIS BLANK IF UNSURE as Associating a Geofence with a Company will cause it to be private and usable ONLY by the Vehicles assigned that company (5) Add to DTNav POIs for Driver Self Routing: Checking this box will also add the Geofence to the DTNav POI database, allowing the Driver to find and self route to the Geofence. Requires ELD v6.08+ and DTNav v1.04+ (6) Color of Geofence and Landmark Icon: Select the Icon that will be used to identify the Geofence on the map, along with the color to use for the Geofence. Note - the only field required to be filled out when creating a Geofence is the Name (the company field is also used but will default to the first company in the list).
Adding Alerts for Geofence Anchor geofenceAlerts geofenceAlerts
	(1) Alert Summary Text: Value which will be provided in Email Notifications (2.a) Entry Alert to Driver: Enables an alert to be triggered upon a vehicle entering into the Geofence. Select either Information or Critical to enable the Entry Alert to Driver, followed by the message that will be displayed to the driver upon triggering.

This is Independent of the settings for Entry Alert to Driver and will be triggered even if Entry Alert to Driver is set to 'none' (3) Duration Alert Minutes and Notification Emails: Enables an alert to be triggered after a vehicle has remained inside the Geofence area for X amount of minutes, followed by repeated alerts for every Y amount of minutes the vehicle has continually remained in the Geofence area. Enter email addresses for people who will be notified upon an alert triggering. (4) Exit Alert Emails: Enables an alert to be triggered after a vehicle has exited the Geofence area. Enter email addresses for people who will be notified upon an alert triggering.
Notes for the Geofence
	(1) Comments: Enter any comments or details to be noted about the Geofence. These are shown in the  tab of the window that appears when clicking on the Geofence or Landmark Icon on the map. (1.b) Last Edited By: Manager name who either created or was the last to edit the Geofence (1.c) Last Edited On: DateTime of the creation or last edit performed on the Geofence (2) Customer Primary Key: Primary key reference for the Geofence in the customer's system. (3) Disable Geofence: Disabling the Geofence will prevent events from being generated, however it will still be visible on the map. (4) Delete Geofence: Deleting a Geofence is a 'Deferred Action' which will prevent it from being shown on the Map BUT it will remain in the system until a minimum of 15 days has elapsed. A previously Deleted Geofence can be restored by Searching for Geofence using the Deleted filter option to view the geofence and allow editing to un-check this box. See "Restoring a Geofence" below.

Geofences with Landmarks

Geofences represent various points of interest on the map which include the Landmark (a routing point) and a Geofence Polygon.

 New and Modified Geofences are synchronized with your ELDs within only a few minutes of being created or edited.

 Geofence Entry, Duration and Exit events are detected on the ELD itself (not via a backend server process using historical position data) which ensures near-realtime notification to Drivers, Managers and API Integrations!

Requirements

Geofence Events will only be generated from ELD running v6.07+
All other Mapping features are supported across all current versions of ELD

Limitations and Restrictions

• Companies cannot create more than 60,000 Geofences
• Geofence Polygons cannot contain more than 1,000 vertices
• Geofences cannot be immediately deleted but can be "marked for deletion" (soft delete) and will be pruned from the system after an appropriate amount of time has passed.

Use Cases

Anything which is of interest to capture Entry of, Duration within, Fuel consumed within, Miles moved within and Exit has potential for creating a Geofence.

For Example:

• Customer Locations
• Customer Location sub-divided by Loading Dock to allow Driver Routing to the a specific area of the Customers Yard
  • You may want to create a Geofence for each Dock area at very large distribution centers or yards 
• Company Terminals
  • Allows tracking of Miles and Fuel to enable deductions of movement within your own yards
• Counties which maintain their own Fuel Tax regulations
  • Some counties offer Fuel Tax breaks which can be beneficial for companies to take advantage of. We recommend that you create a Geofence for each that you utilize often in order to gather the data required for filing with the State/County.
  • It is not necessary for you to create Geofences for Each State or Province because DriverTech automatically includes these and provides the data within the State Mileage, Regional Crossing and Trip Detail reports.
• Oil Field Pumps or Pump Groups
  • Allows for routing AND confirmation that a Vehicle/Driver was in an area of an Oil Field for necessary amount of time to perform duties
• Toll Roads
  
  • You may want to alert the Driver if he is approaching a point of no-return toward a Toll Road
• Shipping Lanes
  • Creating a Geofence around a shipping lane will provide you with the data required to analyze how well the lane moves at various times of the Day, Week, or Year.
    These could be retained but simply 'disabled' when tracking is not desired.
• Hazmat Prohibited Roads or Areas
  • To provide an alert to the Driver and Management
• Unauthorized as determined by company policy or agreements (i.e. Unauthorized Fuel Stations)
  • To provide an alert to the Driver and Management
    
• Low Bridges and  Weight Restricted Bridges
  • To provide an alert to the Driver upon approach
• Fuel Station and Travel Centers not already included in our global data set
  • Please inform our Support of any additional Fuel Stations you want included in our global dataset used for the Fuel Purchases and Mapping features
• Various Preferred Locations for:
  • Drug Testing
  • Maintenance and Repair
  • Weigh Stations
  • Truck Washes
• Driver Favorites such as:
  • Home
  • Restaurants
  • Motel and Hotels
