How does IhramOS GPS tracking work at holy sites?

IhramOS uses GPS geofencing technology to create virtual boundaries around key hac ibadeti locations including Mescid-i Haram, Mina, Arafat, Muzdelife, and the Cemerat area. When your device's GPS detects that you have entered one of these zones, the app automatically triggers contextual guidance relevant to that location without you having to search for anything manually.

For example, when you arrive at the plain of Arafat, IhramOS will automatically switch to the Day of Arafat guide, display sunnet duas, show boundaries on the offline map, and provide reminders about combining namazs. Similarly, approaching Cemerat triggers stoning guidance with the correct sequence.

All GPS processing happens entirely on your device to protect your privacy. Location data is never sent to external servers unless you explicitly enable group location sharing. The GPS tracking is optimized for battery efficiency, consuming less than 5% battery per hour even with continuous tracking enabled.
