Understanding Geo-Fencing in Geo-Cx 

Geo-fencing is a technology that utilizes GPS to establish a virtual geographic boundary. This boundary enables software to automatically trigger specific actions when a mobile device crosses into or out of the designated area. In Geo-Cx, we leverage geo-fencing for various functions including enabling security alerts, facilitating location-based punch-ins, and executing automatic punch-outs when a device exits a predetermined zone. 

Note: You won't be allow to punch in if you are outside the geo fenced area.

Quick Guide to Setting Up Geofencing with Google Maps

1. Search for Your Location: Open Google Maps and use the search function to find your project location.

2. Measure Distance: Place the cursor over the desired starting point and right-click to choose 'Measure Distance'. Click again at various points around the initial location to measure the distance and establish your boundaries.

3. Set Boundaries: Based on the distances measured, select an appropriately large perimeter to prevent accidental exits from the project area.

4. Establish Geofence: The geofencing will create a circular boundary using the longest distance you measured as the radius.
