== πŸ“˜ Introduction ==
Geofencing is a core feature in modern GPS tracking systems. It allows users to define virtual boundaries on a map. When a GPS-tracked vehicle or asset enters or exits these areas, the system automatically triggers alerts or actions.
----
== βš™οΈ How Geofence Works ==
* A geofence can be a circular or polygonal area defined by latitude and longitude.
* The Discovery 4G GPS tracker continuously checks its current location via satellite.
* The system compares this live data against the predefined geofence area.
* If the asset enters or exits, the event is logged or notified based on configuration.
----
== 🌐 How to Get Coordinates from Google Maps ==
# Open [https://maps.google.com Google Maps]
# Search for your desired location (e.g., warehouse, school).
# Right-click on the location and select '''β€œWhat’s here?”'''
# Note the coordinates shown (e.g., '''10.0556255, 76.3544891''')
# Use this as:
## Center point for circular geofences
## Corner points for polygon geofences (at least 3, ideally 4–6)
# Enter the values into the command format explained below.
'''Note''': A maximum of '''6 geofences''' (circle or polygon combined) can be configured on any Transight telematics device.

== βœ… Geofence Command Format ==
* '''Status''': 1 = Enable, 0 = Disable
* '''Geofence ID''': Unique ID (e.g., 1313, 1777)
* '''Alert Type''': 1 = Entry, 2 = Exit, 3 = Both
* '''Shape''': 0 = Circle, 1 = Polygon
* '''Latitude/Longitude''': Decimal format (e.g., 10.0556255, 76.3544891)
* '''Radius''': Only for circles (in meters)
* '''#''': Used to separate parameters
* '''&''': Must be added at the end of polygon commands
----
== πŸ“˜ Command Examples with Field Mapping ==
=== πŸ”΅ Example 1: Circular Geofence ===
'''Objective''': Create a 1000-meter circular geofence at '''10.0556255, 76.3544891'''

=== πŸ”· Example 2: Polygon Geofence ===
'''Objective''': Create a polygon geofence with 4 corner points (first point repeated at the end)
* Status: 1
* Geofence ID: 1777
* Alert Type: 3
* Shape: 1
* Coordinates:
** 10.0535097, 76.334262Β

== πŸ’Ύ Save Configuration ==
After setting up geofences, you must execute the below command to save the configuration permanently:
<pre>
SET TSMR:2
</pre>
----
== πŸ” To Check Configured Geofences ==
Use the command:
<pre>
GET CUGF
</pre>
This will show all geofences currently saved in the device memory.
----
== βœ… Final Verification ==
After setup:
* Ensure the device has a GPS fix.
* Drive or move the asset in and out of the geofenced area.
* Confirm alerts are received/logged as expected.
