Abstract
A system and method gather market information associated with consumer activity considering the geographic position of the consumer. The system and method employ mobile locator devices that can compile geographic information and transmit a request from a user for target information (usually marketing information), along with geographic information to a server capable of logging the requests with the geographic information and target information sought. The server can then distribute the requests to servers to provide the target information. The resulting information can be used to create a database of information requests made and then provide a profile of consumer activity based on the database created with the geographic information associated with each request.
