# Places

Worked examples of geofences and points of interest, the two ways a location gets a name.

Both guides here give a location a name the rest of the Navixy platform can use: a geofence is an area that a rule can watch, and a place is a point that a task can be assigned against. Reports name both instead of raw coordinates.

* [Managing geofences](/docs/navixy-api/user-api/guides/places/manage-geofences.md): creating areas and using them to limit where a rule applies.
* [Managing POIs](/docs/navixy-api/user-api/guides/places/manage-pois.md): creating the client sites and depots that tasks are assigned against.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://navixy.com/docs/navixy-api/user-api/guides/places.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
