The Zones panel can be used to identify, add, and delete zones (e.g. virtual boundaries or geofences). Zones allow administrators to monitor vehicles in different ways. For example, if a vehicle is expected to only travel within a certain area, a threshold can be set up that triggers an alert when the vehicle leaves a zone.
Note: From AMM 2.17.2 onwards, zones created by parent groups are automatically visible to sub-group users.
Note: for ALEOS devices, the communication frequency with the AMM determines the accuracy of threshold triggers with respect to zone boundaries.
Zones Panel
The map area provides the following controls:
Map Area Controls
Adds a new zone.
Removes the selected the point.
Clears the zone from the map (note that once cleared, there is no way to retrieve the zone).
Locates a location on the map.
Displays other zones on the map.
Imports an existing zone into the new zone. Using an existing zone provides a starting point and can facilitate quicker zone creation.
Enters advanced mode where zones can be defined by entering raw latitude/longitude position pairs below the map. Clicking Update below the map in this mode saves the coordinates and returns to standard zone editing mode.
Adding a new zone
Note: Only use letters, numbers, spaces and dashes. Other characters are not supported and could cause unintended behaviour.

Deleting a Zone
To delete a zone, select it from the main Zones panel and click on Delete. Alternatively, click on Delete from the editing panel.
Adding a Zone Alert
A zone alert can be used to detect when one or more gateways leave a zone. To create a zone alert, define a threshold as described in Thresholds , set the Group or gateway to the devices which are to be monitored for the zone, and set the Stat field to GPS Location Zone.
