What is the difference between geofencing and GPS tracking?

GPS tracking provides real-time location data for assets. Geofencing uses GPS data to trigger alerts when devices enter or exit defined boundaries.

How accurate is geofencing?

GPS geofencing is accurate within approximately 25 feet under optimal conditions. To avoid false alerts, geofence boundaries should be set at least 26 feet larger than the actual area.

Can geofencing work indoors?

GPS-based geofencing doesn't work well indoors. For indoor tracking, use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth-based geofencing, though these are less accurate.

What's the best use case for geofencing in construction?

Geofencing is ideal for protecting equipment at job sites, detecting unauthorized use, and automating time tracking. It also aids in recovery if equipment is stolen.
