GeoFences
WorldTracker
GPRS
A GeoFence is a virtual fence (a square around a certain location) that
you can preset online. When the WorldTracker GPRS enters/leaves the
fence, you will receive an alert via email or a text message on your
cellular phone by entering a plus symbol, your country code followed
by your cellular phone number. You will receive a text message on your
phone when the GeoFence has been triggered.
To set up a GeoFence, first click the “GeoFence” button.
Click on the drop down window “Both”.
Under this menu you can choose whether
you want an alert when the vehicle enters
and exits, only enters, only exits, or
one shot (alert when the vehicle exits
one time). Once a GeoFence is set, it will
remain in place until it is deleted. This does
not apply for the one shot option.
Enter the email address you wish to receive GeoFence alerts on.
You will need to enter a password. The password is always 0000, unless
specified otherwise.
Continue to Next Page.

Draw a GeoFence by double clicking on one part of the map and then
double clicking again in a different location, surrounding the area you
would like to include. An area will be highlighted on the map indicating the
GeoFence area. If you are not satisfied, you can repeat this procedure to
draw a different GeoFence. Once you are satisfied with the area of the
fence, click on “SET”.
This can be repeated multiple times to set multiple GeoFences. To view
the GeoFences that are set, click on the GeoFence button. The Geo
Fences are indicated on the map.
To delete a GeoFence, enter the password and click on “DELETE”
indicated on the right-hand part of the GeoFence. A window pops up
indicating that the GeoFence has been deleted. You must do this for
every GeoFence created.

Troubleshooting
“My tracker has stopped sending data.”
Retrieve your unit and replace or recharge the batteries. Try turning the
unit off and plugging it into the 12-volt power adapter. Then turn it back
on. If you still do not receive data, the unit may need to be reprogrammed.
Please contact our support department for assistance.
“The “FIX LED” does not illuminate.”
The unit should get a GPS location fix within a few minutes.
If you do not receive a fix, take the unit outside and wait for a few minutes
while the unit has a clear view of the sky.
“My tracking page displays yesterday’s data.”
Data is not updated on the map until new positions are reported. Look
at the time of the “last report” on the map. If the time of the last report is
before midnight central standard time, the current data is from the day
before. Your tracker may have stopped sending data, please retrieve the
tracker for testing.
If you continue to have trouble or need assistance with your tracker,
please call our customer support department at 650-692-2816.
