1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in a first computing device, wherein, when executed, the program causes the first computing device to at least:

  • obtain active zone data from a second computing device, the active zone data encoding an identification of a plurality of location-based service zones within a geographic region and geographic parameters defining the geographic region;

    determine that a number of the plurality of location-based service zones meets or exceeds a client-supported threshold;

    determine a location of the first computing device based at least in part on at least one of an exit or an entrance of the first computing device with respect to at least one location-based service zone monitored by the first computing device;

    assign scores to individual ones of the plurality of location-based service zones based at least in part on the location of the first computing device and geographic parameters of individual ones of the plurality of location-based service zones;

    rank the individual ones of the plurality of location-based service zones according to the scores;

    select a subset of the plurality of location-based service zones based at least in part on at least one of;

    the location of the first computing device, a speed of the first computing device, or a direction of movement of the first computing device, the subset of the plurality of location-based service zones including a highest ranked number of location-based service zones within the client-supported threshold; and

    initiate monitoring of the subset of the plurality of location-based service zones.
