There are a few basic specifications that must be met in order to ensure vehicle interaction with geofence successfully registers:
This geofence is designed to trigger when a vehicle has entered the parking lot or loading dock in back of the building. The area colored in red is where we would like the geofence to trigger when a vehicle enters. GPS limitations allow for up to 50 feet of guaranteed accuracy. To compensate for this we need to add 50 feet of padding onto each side of the geofence, in order to guarantee that when a vehicle enters the desired area the fence will be triggered. The area colored in green is the correctly drawn fence to account for the limitations.
