 * Hi,
    I need to track an employee movement when it goes to work on a building 
   site. The tracking record on the mobile app ( and consequently on my wordpress
   site) should start when the employee enter in a specific location (building site)
   and must Stop when it goes out from that location (building site). Is it possibile
   to do it with your plugin? Do you suggest another solution to record and track
   his movement? Many Thanks in advance for your support. Regards Roberto

 * Hi,
 * It’s an interesting use case.
 * First of all, the plugin does not (and cannot) control when the client device
   starts and stops sending updates. At least, I don’t know any app that supports
   this kind of remote control. I can think of an app listening to HTTP responses
   and stopping the reports on command, but the case of _starting_ to track, I can’t
   even imagine how that should work. Anyhow, Trackserver doesn’t do this at the
   moment, and without client support, it will never happen.
 * Regardless of client support, Trackserver (on the server side) could of course
   decide to store the location or not. What you seem to need is an _inverse geofence_,
   where location updates are ignored of discarded _outside_ the fence. The current
   implementaion of geofences in Trackserver only hides or discard locations inside
   specified areas.
 * I think it would be feasable to add ‘inverse’ functionality to the geofences 
   as they are in Trackserver now. I will consider it, if you think that it will
   solve your problem. Keep in mind that geofences are circle-shaped (defined by
   center coordinates and a radius), and that I have no intention of adding other
   shapes or forms to Trackserver.
 * Please let me know!
 * Cheers,
    Martijn.
