There are different types of zones, which all have different uses (Zones are also known as geo-zones or geo-fences)

The following zones exist

1. Locations
2. No Go
3. Keep In
4. Routes
5. POI

1. 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
i.e. if an asset is traveling up MAIN STREET, and enters into a 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.

2. 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

3. Keep in
A keep in zone acts in the same way as a No Go Zone

4. Route
Routes are not actively monitored unless there is an alert setup.

5. POI
Points of interest are simply points on the map, and are for visual purposes only

- Zones that are set as inactive will not be create events 
- Every zone can have a contact name and contact telephone number for information purposes
- Every zone can be assigned to a group for organisational purposes.
- If you set a max speed for a zone, this will be used as the road speed limit when the device is inside the zone
