There are different types of zones, which have different uses (Zones are also known as geo-zones or geo-fences)
Depending on the zone type, they can be created as circles, polygons, lines or points
The following zones exist
- Locations
- No Go
- Keep In
- Routes
- POI
Locations
Locations are meant for small areas like offices, homes etc
When a vehicle enters a location zone, this location name will override the street name in the asset menu.
If an asset is traveling up MAIN STREET, and enters into a location zone called OFFICE, the asset menu will change the address from MAIN STREET to OFFICE.
No other zone types overrides the location name like a LOCATION zone.
No Go
Every time an assets enters/exits a no go zone, an event is saved in the database
You can generate reports based on these events, you can also create alerts with optional time periods to be notified if an asset enters a no go zone at night
Keep in
A keep in zone acts in the same way as a No Go Zone
Route
Routes can be created manually or from a trip, you can be notifed about deviations from routes.
Routes are not actively monitored unless there is an alert setup.
POI
Points of interest are simply points on the map, and are for visual purposes only
Choose the POI option when creating:
POIs will be displayed as a marker on the map:
