Landmarks — Geofences, POI & Routes

Create geofences, points of interest, and routes with map-based drawing, CSV import, and KML export.

Last updated April 17, 2026

The Landmarks module (Studio) provides a map-based editor for three spatial object types: Geofences (virtual boundaries for alerting), POIs (location markers), and Routes (path definitions). All are displayed on the live tracking map.

Geofences#

Create virtual boundaries that trigger alerts when vehicles enter or exit.

TypeHow to DrawBest For
CircleClick center point + set radiusWarehouses, parking lots, job sites
PolygonClick multiple vertices to draw shapeCity zones, neighborhoods, irregular areas
LineClick points to draw a pathRoads, corridors, highways

Geofence Fields#

FieldRequiredDescription
NameYesIdentifier (2-100 characters)
DescriptionNoAdditional details
RadiusCircle onlySize in meters
ToleranceNoAlert buffer zone in meters — prevents false alerts from GPS drift
ColorNoMap display color
ActiveAutoOnly active geofences trigger alerts (default: on)
Tip
Set tolerance to 50-100 meters to prevent false entry/exit alerts when vehicles are near the boundary.

Points of Interest (POI)#

Mark important locations on the map — customer sites, fuel stations, offices.

FieldRequiredDescription
NameYesLocation name
CategoryYesClassification (searchable)
PositionYesClick on map or enter lat/long manually
ColorNoMarker color
IconNoMarker icon from gallery
Tolerance RadiusNoProximity detection in meters

Routes#

Define expected travel paths. Routes can be drawn manually, generated from source/destination (powered by OSRM), or imported from coordinates.

Import & Export#

  • Import — CSV bulk import with step-by-step wizard: select type, upload file, map columns, validate, import with live progress
  • Export — KML export for Google Earth and GIS tools
  • Sample CSV templates available for download
