The local environment affects geofencing: • In urban environments, where the cell towers and WiFi routers are more dense, geofencing accuracy can reach 100-200 meters. Note: If you live in a skyscraper, geofencing might not work reliably due to GPS inaccuracies. Using the Large radius setting might help. • In rural areas, where cell towers and WiFi routers are sparse, geofencing accuracy can reach several hundred meters. To improve geofencing accuracy, make sure that your mobile device meets these conditions: • WiFi is turned on. • GPS or location services are turned on. Prepare your mobile device for geofencing 1.
