Point Intersection

Contents

Please see the Sites feature in our Places API if you are looking for predefined geofences around warehouses, distribution centers, and many other important trucking facilities in North America.

The Point Intersection API returns all of the geofences the given array of points intersects with. You can additionally filter by Geofence SetId, Geofence SetName, Geofence SetTag, or Geofence Name to check if your points intersect with a specific fence or set of fences. For each point supplied, the service will return an array of geofences that the point is inside.
