The purpose of this document is to highlight the recent changes to the general setup that needs to take place for the Gimbal enablement with the release of Gimbal 2.0 SDK.
Definitions
New for SDK 2.0:
Places
Gimbal SDK 2.0 introduces the concept of PLACES. A Place can be represented by a single geofence and/or a series of beacons. There can only be one geofence per place. Thus, when you create a Place in Gimbal Manager you can draw a geofence and/or choose a set of beacons to define the Place. A Place represents both Geofence and Proximity.
For example, a Place can be represented by a geofence (circular or polygonal), a series of beacons, or a combination of a geofence and beacon[s].

Gimbal Beacon
Refers to either the physical devices (small white box or smaller blue tag), or the signal that they emit. Beacons do not connect to the internet, they just send out a unique signal used to identify the beacon. New for SDK 2.0: MobileSmith applications can now send Gimbal Beacon notifications to Android devices.
