Restricted & Warning Zones Updated 2026-08-09

Creating a warning zone

  1. Open Zones from the left nav, under Setup.
  2. Click "New Zone". A form opens.
  3. Fill in the form:
    • Type — select Warning.
    • Label — a short, clear name (e.g., "Narrow residential streets," "Highway access").
    • Active — check the box to enable the zone immediately.
  4. Draw the boundary with the boundary picker: tap to add a point, drag a point to adjust it, and tap a point to remove it. Place points around the area you want to flag.
  5. Click Create Zone.

What happens after you save

  • Any path through the warning zone turns orange on the vehicle's route display to alert the operator.
  • The vehicle is not blocked from entering; it simply gets a visual alert that the area requires caution.
  • Operators on the property see the orange path and know to work carefully in that zone.

Tips

  • Warning zones are best for areas with special hazards or conditions, not for general avoidance.
  • Make warning zone boundaries tight and specific so the orange alert is meaningful to operators.
  • Use clear names that explain the caution (e.g., "Steep grade — take care" or "Tight turns").
