Create a Geozone from Map View

The easiest way to create a GeoZone is from either the group or vehicle map page. If you wish to create or edit an existing GeoZone from within the GeoZone Admin page please see follow the  instructions located here. Written instructions for creating a GeoZone from the map views are located below or you can watch the following video.

Follow these steps to create a GeoZone from either of the map views:

1. Navigate to the address you want to create a GeoZone at by manually moving the map around and zooming in or you can use the "Search Location" field in the top left corner of the map to go straight to a particular address.
2. Place the mouse over the location you want at the center of the Geozone, hold the SHIFT key while you DOUBLE CLICK the left mouse button.
   • Important: If you used the search feature to navigate to an address avoid clicking on the pin that was dropped on the map at the location - click next to it.
3. Type in the GeoZone ID, this cannot be edited. You will name your GeoZone in the "Description" field later in the process.
   • Important: We recommend making custom shaped GeoZones (i.e. not just a circle) that allow a higher level of accuracy and customization. You must enter a comma and the letter 'p' after the ID as you create the zone (i.e. customzone1,p ).
   • ​If you choose not to make a custom shaped GeoZone then it will default to a circular zone with a radius of 25 meters.
4. After you click 'OK' a new window will open 
   • Drag the pins on the map to select the area you wish the GeoZone to cover.
5. On this page you can also set a number of other settings for the GeoZone.
   • Description - Name your GeoZone, this will show as the Address in reports if Reverse Geocode is enabled
   • Assign Group - Select a group if you only want the GeoZone to apply to a certain group of vehicles
   • Reverse Geocode - The address of tracker activity in this zone will be overwritten with the description of this GeoZone
   • Arrival Zone - "Arrive" events will be registered when a tracker enters the zone.
   • Departure Zone - "Depart" events will be registered when a tracker leaves the zone.
   • Auto Notify - Used to configure automatic alerting when a vehicle enters or leaves a GeoZone.
   • Hide on Maps - The zone will not show on the map.
   • Zone Color - Change the zone area color
   • Push Pin - Change the center pin color that shows on the map pages
   • Speed Limit - Set a custom speed limit for the zone
   • Tag - Enter a tag to be able to categorize types of GeoZone, this essentially allows you 'group' GeoZones and run reports on based on the tag.
6. Once you have made all of the necessary adjustments click 'Change' to save the GeoZone and any other preferences you have selected.
7. If you ever need to make adjustments to a GeoZone or delete a GeoZone then navigate to the "Administration" menu and select "GeoZone Admin"
