How does the On-Site Report determine that a unit is on "Site"?

How does the On-Site Report determine that a unit is on "Site"? I can
see that the Sites are contained in the geo-place table. Is it based
on a fixed radius?

A device is 'on-site' when its stopped.

Thus if you drive from A-B and B is in Cheltenham, you are on-site in
Cheltenham for X time until you move away from B.

How does it determine that the location is in Cheltenham versus
another location? Is it using the closest geo-place record, or does
it use geo-fencing within a fixed radius around the geo-place record
coordinates? I trying to understand the methodology and its
implications on how the app would work in other countries.

Hi

It will check the database table > geo_place < for the nearest match.

You should be able to find a USA geo_place list on the internet for
free, which you can import to your database.

Here are some places to try for US data...

or for outside the US you can try

Also http://geonames.org is a good one.

There are probably more places on the net, google is your friend :-)
