These virtual fences can be used to track the physical location of the device active in the particular region or the fence area. The location of the person using the device is taken as geocoding data and can be used further for advertising purposes. It is possible to monitor several geofences at once (multiple active geofences).
There's also something called Virtual Fences, which can alert you when the tracker moves beyond a designated area drawn on a map, which in theory could be good to keep track of children and pets.

Virtual electric fences for livestock using GPS technology have also been developed.
