Geofence location

[AdminWes]

Hi Folks,

The reason for the increased relibility with Google Maps is detailed in the website: http://mobilinc.com/features/geofence/. The reason is due to the GPS being active at the time. Geo-Fencing piggybacks on top of the highest accuracy signal at the time.

Coming home you'll have faster recognition if there are many Wi-Fi nodes in the area visible to your iPhone. Geo-Fencing relies on a lot of external factors (Wi-Fi nodes, and cell towers) for reliability. As a result it will work better for some folks than others. I wouldn't describe that as a bug or a feature, it simply requires many visible RF signals to trigger an iOS Geo-Fence signal to fire to MobiLinc. Because of this it will work better for some folks due to the area and Wi-Fi density they live in.

I too am challenged with the late notifications. I have increased the radius but with no avail. I was wondering if enabling the find my iPhone would increase accuracy and reliability?

Would love for this to work as advertised.

Hi Trent,

As long as you are following all of the guidelines here: http://mobilinc.com/features/geofence/ then that's all you can do to help iOS deliver geo-fence transitions as fast as possible to MobiLinc.

We've tweaked a few settings in our iOS 7 update that's showing promise for better/quicker reliability when crossing boundaries.
