Abstract
A method and system to provide a notification is described. The system may comprise a first mobile device including a positioning component to determine when the first mobile device is proximate at least one predefined zone (e.g., enters, remains within or leaves the predefined zone), and a location data compiler to compile location data which includes a zone identifier corresponding to the at least one predefined zone. The first mobile device may further comprise a device identifier and a transmitter to send the location data and the device identifier to at least one recipient associated with the at least one predefined zone. The system may include a second mobile device associated with the at least one recipient and including a receiver to receive the location data from the first mobile device, and a display to display the location data and the zone identifier on the second mobile device.
