Dear all,

I had to draw a circle around the device last location and did some workaround:

1. added a variable to the payload, “range” as a fence format:

```auto

```

_{_

_“variable”: “range”,_

_“value”: “Range: 36.75”,_

_“location”: {_

```
_"type": "Point",_

_"coordinates": \[_

  _-46.63629,_

  _-23.595664_

_\]_

```

_},_

_“metadata”: {_

```
_"event": "Accuracy: 36.75",_

_"eventColor": "black",_

_"geolocation": {_

  _"type": "Point",_

  _"radius": 36.75,_

  _"coordinates": \[_

    _-23.595664,_

    _-46.63629_

  _\]_

_}_

```

_}_

_}_

```auto

```

2. Changed geofence options in the widget to show only one value for the “range” variable.

Then the result is this:

Would be nice if the map widget have this feature (location.radius or metadata.radius or metadata.geolocation.radius ) on the variable without adding a new variable to simulate it.

Color option and a button to switch on/off the view also would be welcome.

Thanks in advance
