Abstract
The present invention relates to improvements to systems and methods for determining a current location of a client device, and for identifying and selecting appropriate geo-fences based on the current location of the client device. An improved geo-fence selection system performs operations that include associating media content with a geo-fence that encompasses a portion of a geographic region, sampling location data from a client device, defining a boundary based on the sampled location data from the client device, detecting an overlap between the boundary and the geo-fence, retrieving the media content associated with the geo-fence, and loading the media content at a memory location of the client device, in response to detecting the overlap.
