Points of Interest app
 |
Points of Interest (or POIs) are specific locations on the map. We use POIs to alert you when your trackers enter or exit an area. |
If you group nearby POIs together, you can paint an area on the map, which now has a “virtual fence”. This feature is also called a “geofence” or “geofencing”.
POIs are widely used to mark important and useful locations on the map, such as gas stations, parking lots, transit stations, coffee shops and pharmacies.
