Abstract

In one embodiment an apparatus comprises logic, at least partially including hardware logic, configured to establish a geographic reference point, define one or more geofences relative to the geographic reference point, determine, based on an input from at least one inertial sensor, a location of the apparatus relative to the geographic reference point, and generate a warning signal in response to a determination that the location of the apparatus is outside the one or more geofences. Other embodiments may be described.
