2.Use the view and zoom icons at the upper left corner of the screen to zoom into the area you would like to designate as a lot.

3.Once you have located your area on the map, click on the boundaries to place markers around the perimeter. Markers can be clicked and dragged on the map to adjust the boundaries of the geofence. If you make a mistake and need to remove a marker, right click to remove the last marker placed on the map. Repeat to remove more.

 

 

It is possible to alter a geofence without losing track of the last location on the geofence. Hover over the edge of the section of the geofence and the line is highlighted in bold. Click on the highlighted line and a marker appears in the center of the line. Drag the new marker to the new location to alter the scope of the geofence. When a marker is gray it means a new marker will not connect to it. In contrast, a blue marker indicates the next marker will appear between them.
