Okay kiddo, imagine you have a big invisible bubble around your house. Now, imagine that this bubble is magic and whenever you step out of it, a message pops up on your parent’s phone. This message tells them that you’re not in the bubble anymore and they can check where you are. This magical bubble is called a geo-fence.
A geo-fence is a virtual fence or boundary that someone puts around a real-world area, like a store or your house, using GPS technology. Whenever someone crosses this boundary, their device (like a phone or GPS tracker) sends a signal to a specific location or person, letting them know that someone has crossed the geo-fence.
Geo-fencing is used for a lot of different things, such as location tracking, personal safety, and marketing. For example, if you go to a store with a geo-fence, the store can send you personalized advertisements or deals on your phone once you’re inside the geo-fence.
In short, a geo-fence magic bubble helps people keep track of where you are or when you enter and leave a specific area.
