Modes of operation:
1. Radius mode
- set center point coordinates and radius in meters
- datafield shows current location and distance to center
2. Polygon mode
- 3 or 4 points supported initially. 0.0 values in last point coordinates makes it discarded

- only simple triangle or quadrangle geofence area supported
