Place matching is now generally available for Enterprise customers

Internally-managed POI data can quickly become stale and outdated as locations in the physical world change. To address this, Radar customers can now link their own POI data, such as store addresses, with Radar’s Places database to make sure your geofence coordinates and geometries are accurate and up-to-date over time.

To get started, navigate to the geofences page and select Import. If Places are enabled for your project, opt-in to this feature during import by toggling "Enable place matching" and select chains to match your geofences against. The import process will then match each geofence against Radar's places for those chains.

Place matching in the Radar dashboard

Learn more in our place matching announcement.

Get started quickly with Radar Toolkit

Running a field test with Radar is now easier with updates to onboarding for Radar Toolkit for iOS and Android. With Radar’s Toolkit, you can run real-world tests of geofence events and trips while also adjusting tracking options to fine-tune update frequency and optimize for battery efficiency.

Download Toolkit for iOS or Android to get started.

Dwell geofence events available in beta

Dwell events are triggered when a geofence is occupied for more time than a given time threshold. When user.dwelled_in_geofence is enabled in project settings, dwell time thresholds can be set for individual geofences via import (by adding a dwellThreshold column) or the API. To set dwell time thresholds globally across all geofences, contact your account representative.
