An exemplary virtual boundary system determines a refined geolocation of a tracking device based on a positioning signal and a correction signal that are accessed from distinct signal sources. The virtual boundary system compares the refined geolocation of the tracking device and a geographic boundary. Then, based on the comparing of the refined geolocation and the geographic boundary, the virtual boundary system provides an alert indicative of the refined geolocation with respect to the geographic boundary. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
