Abstract
A method and system for presenting location information on mobile devices is discussed. The method includes tracking, at a mobile device associated with a user, mobile device locations of additional mobile devices associated with additional users. Each of the mobile device locations can be determined based on data indicating location data transmissions of respective additional mobile devices. The method includes providing an interactive map interface on a device display on the mobile device, the interactive map interface indicating, based on the tracking, location representations of locations and user representations of the additional users. The interactive map interface indicates a geofence generated using a location selected by the user. The method also includes displaying, responsive to a determination based on the tracking that one of the mobile devices has entered an area of the geofence, an alert on the device display.
