Cellphone Tracker Apps and Geo Fencing

Have you heard of geo fencing? If not, then you should read on because this might give you a better insight upon this new technology. We are all very familiar with the GPS tracking systems but geo fencing will allow you to literally create a virtual fence around a person in order to track him or her.

Take your kids for instance. They always tell you where they are going but now you can see if they are really honest when they tell you go somewhere. You will create a fence around the place your kid’s locations with this application and you if he will leave the area of that fence you will get an SMS as an alert.

If you are having problems with some couriers that work for you then you can use geo fencing on them as well. You only have to create a fence around their normal route and if they will leave their normal working place you will know and you will be able to do something about it.

You should know that every trucker in the USA is paid by the mile which means that if they take the long road to their destination they will get more money but they will arrive there later. This problem was solved when companies started to use geo fencing features on cellphone tracker apps. They were then able to tell the truckers which turn to take in order to get to their destination sooner and they were also noticed if the drivers got out of the ‘fence line’ created.

If you have a teenager in the house, you will be able to restrain his rebellion by creating such a phone tracker with a geo fence around the places where he says he’s going. If he will go beyond that line you will know but as long as you don’t get an alarm message you can rest assured by knowing he’s still in that area.
