Explained: Geo Zones & Geofencing in 2024

Geo zones are virtual areas that are created around a specific geographical location, designed to manage data and traffic. These virtual boundaries can be set up around a house, between streets, or even an entire area. Geofencing devices are used to establish these zones and track an object connected to the device. This could be your car, your bike, or even your mobile phone. The geofencing device will monitor the object's location while it is within the designated zone and notify you if it goes beyond the virtual boundary.

Let us get more information about geo zones and geofencing in this blog. 

Have Geo Zones for Your Vehicle

There are many options for geofencing equipment available in the market. However, Track Me's Hidden GPS Tracker is regarded as the best one so far. It can be installed on cars, buses, bikes, and trucks to keep track of their movements 24/7. The tracker pack includes a GPS unit with connecting wires that can be attached to any vehicle, with or without a key, and a SIM card with 12 months of data. The tracker has its own Android and iOS app, which can be downloaded from the Play/App stores. After installing the app, you can easily define the geo zones in the map section and select the locations where you need to monitor your vehicles. Once set up, you're good to go!

Get Alerts When the Vehicle Crosses a Zone

Geofencing devices can be installed on your vehicle. You can customize the device to alert you when your vehicle enters or exits a defined region. You can define multiple regions as geo zones and the device will automatically identify them. This is especially useful if you manage multiple vehicles or fleets. The app provides multiple alert systems, including an Ignition On/Off alert that notifies you when the vehicle’s engine is turned on or off. This helps with calculating vehicle run time and fuel efficiency. There is also a Safe Parking Alarm that alerts you if your vehicle is improperly parked in a given space, an Over-speed Alert that sends notifications to the app when the vehicle goes beyond the defined speed limit, and more. 

Geofencing Protects Your Vehicle

Setting up Geo Zones for your vehicle by using geofencing equipment is the best safety precaution you can take. With Track Me’s GPS tracker, you can receive live-location data on your vehicle via the Internet. This helps you to relax, knowing where your vehicle is at any given time. It also prevents theft of the vehicle and safeguards it by alerting you if the vehicle crosses the defined boundaries. Track Me's GPS tracker comes with an anti-theft alarm that works even if the engine is turned off and the vehicle is towed or pushed from a spot. 

Option to Immobilise Your Vehicle in Case it is Out of Range

Track Me’s GPS tracker comes with an additional safety feature - a remote engine lock option that is available with a wired tracker. However, this feature is only suitable for vehicles that follow BS4 norms and below and is not recommended for BS6 vehicles. You can use this feature to shut down your vehicle in case it is stolen or taken out of the designated geo zones without your permission. The tracker provides you with complete control of your vehicle from anywhere in the world. Moreover, you can monitor your fleet on the go using the user-friendly app installed on your smartphone.
