On this screen you can see a grey circular area around a point. This represents the area of the Geofence (the area that will trigger if you enter/exit). You can drag the map around or use the search functionality to move to a new location entirely. The radius value can also be changed by dragging the slider or tapping the textual value. A large radius is recommended to ensure the trigger fires more reliably when an accurate location is hard to determine.

Each Geofence area should be given an identifying name (e.g. home, work, school etc.). This is then used to easily identify which area is being referenced in any trigger/constraint that uses Geofences.

The Geofence trigger functionality relies on Google Play services to operate. On devices without Google Play services or in rare cases where the Play services functionality doesn't work correctly an alternative [[Trigger: Location Trigger|Location Trigger]] is provided. This uses a custom MacroDroid implementation and has no dependency on Google Play.
