There used to be a mode to geo-fence data collection, i.e. harvest only outside of a certain area, but I don't see it anymore.

geo-fencing was extremely rarely used. I think we had single digit numbers of people who enabled the feature and understood what it meant.

We decided to cut out geofencing because it was confusing to most people and reducing the number of knobs and dials on a program is usually a good thing.

We've got a bug filed to hook the accelerometers though: https://github.com/mozilla/MozStumbler/issues/1107
