Name it and choose a type
Give the geofence a Name, then choose its Type:
- Restricted Zone alerts you when a boat goes in.
- Speed Restricted Zone alerts you when a boat goes faster than the Max Speed you set.
- Notify on Entry, Notify on Exit or Notify on Entry and Exit alert you when boats come and go.
- Log Only records entries and exits without alerts.

Click Save
The geofence appears on the map and in the list. Every entry and exit is logged for each vessel from now on.
For a Line, choose Notify on Crossed or Log Only, and a Crossing Type. Use Passed under for bridges, so the log reads, for example, "Passed under Sunshine Skyway". A Circle can also be set by its Centre and Radius. Alerts go out by email or text message.
