Geofencing Accuracy

For accuracy, geofencing uses a combination of GPS, cellular data, and WiFi data.
• In urban environments, where the cell towers and Wi-Fi 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 may help.
• In more rural areas, where cell towers and WiFi routers are sparse, geofencing
accuracy can reach several hundred meters.
