Location Alerts
Location alerts notify you when your dogs or contacts enter or
exit a particular location. You can create a custom geofence or
use a radius around your current location.
A geofence is an invisible boundary around an area and is
created using points on the map. The virtual boundaries of a
geofence are accurate up to approximately 10 ft. (3 m).
Geofences perform best when sized to cover an area
encompassing an average sized backyard (approximately
¼ acre).

area.
