Abstract
The disclosure relates to technology for location-based services, and in particular, to geofencing. A computing device generates multiple circular shaped geofences to cover a geographic region defined by a polygon shaped geofence. The multiple circular shaped geofences are monitored to detect a current location of user equipment entering a boundary of any of the circular shaped geofences. Based on the detection, determining that the current location of the user equipment is within the polygon shaped geofence. A location based service is notified that the user equipment has entered the polygon shaped geofence.
