Adding a new Geo-Fence - Online 

A geo-fence is a virtual perimeter for a real world geographic area. A geo-fence 
could be set around a neighbourhood, a school’s boundary or a residence. Once a 

geo-fence is set up, a notification can be sent to an authorised number when the 

GPS tracker enters or exits the predefined area. 

1. 

To set up a geo-fence, select “Geo-Fence” from the menu on the left side  

of the webpage

2. 

Click “Add New Geo-Fence”

3. 

Enter a name for the geo-fence you want to create 

4. 

Click the “Select range from map” button

5. 

The dialogue box will disappear and the map will be visible again

6. 

Find the area you want to set up a geo-fence around – see navigating  

the map, page 14

7. 

Left click on the map to set the first corner of the geo-fence

8. 

Move the mouse and click a second time to set the opposite corner.  

Don’t worry about trying to set the area perfectly the first time, you can  

fine tune the area later

9. 

You will now see a green rectangle with a red line outline and white  

squares along the edges. The red line is the border of the new geo-fence

10. 

You can change the geo-fence by clicking and dragging one of the  

white squares to a new location. By doing this you can fine tune the  

borders of the geo-fence to fit any area you like

11. 

While re-sizing you may notice transparent squares along the border,  

these are additional points you can add, by clicking and dragging, that  

allow further control over the geo-fence area

12. 

When you are happy with the area set click the “Ok” button on the  

“Finish GEO editing?” dialogue box to return to the  “Add New  

Geo-Fence” menu

13. 

You can now change the alarm to either send an alert when the Cocoon  

GPS tracker enters the geo-fence or when it leaves

14. 

Click the “Submit” button. The geo-fence is now active
