Tizen Native API  5.0

The Location Bounds APIs provides functions related to geographic bounds information.

Required Header

#include <locations.h>

Overview

Boundary defines geographical boundary. It is same as geo-fence which is a virtual perimeter for a real-world geographic area. If you create a boundary, you can trigger some activities when a device enters(or exits) the boundaries defined by you.
