What is a geofence and how does geofencing work?

In short, a geofence is a virtual boundary around a physical location. A geofence can be set as a radius around a specific location. A geofence uses GPS. If the wearer is in the garden and leaves it, you receive a notification because the wearer is moving away from the garden's geofence.

How does geofencing work?

Geofencing is used to track vehicles or as a safety measure for a child.

Say the wearer moves away from a geofence (for example, home) while wearing a KUUS. GPS watch, you then receive a notification via the KUUS. app. (see below for an example of the KUUS. app)

You can then see exactly where the KUUS. watch is located in the app.
