Abstract
In accordance with the embodiments, when a device carried with a user enters a zone, Web content associated with that zone is dynamically generated and sent to the user'"'"'s cell phone, portable computer, or other device capable of displaying the content. Content can include traffic conditions for travel routes through the zone, alternate travel routes, sales for stores located in or around the zone, and weather reports for the zone. The location and movement of the device is tracked by using cellular network towers, GPS components, WiFi locators, or any combination of these. In other embodiments, the location or movement triggers a control signal to be sent to a device, for example, to turn it on as a vehicle being tracked nears its destination.
