Looking for a perfect Uber clone script ? Well, one of the most important feature of a uber clone script is the Geofencing feature.

To understand geo-fencing it is important to understand first what geolocation is. In the context of smart phone, a geolocation is the geographic location of the smart phone.

This location data can be used in apps to understand the location of the user and provide services based on this information. Most commonly the smartphone’s location is determined by a combination of GPS, cell tower and Wi-Fi data.

A geofencing is a virtual perimeter around a geographic location with a radius of X meters. Modern mobile OS’s have developed technology to track the user’s geolocation. When a user enters or exits a geofence, the OS can trigger the app to perform an event in the background.

This event is most commonly used to send a notification to the user.
