1. A system for executing user-definable events triggered through geolocational data describing zones of influence, comprising:

  • a cartridge defining one or more zones of influence, each zone of influence described by stored geolocational data and forming a logically enclosed physical space, the cartridge further associating one or more user-definable events with each zone of influence, each user-definable event specifying a trigger condition based on the stored geolocational data for the associated zone of influence;

    a user device identifying a location based on further geolocational data and triggering at least one user-definable event when the location substantially correlates to the stored geolocational data for the trigger condition of the at least one user-definable event;

    the cartridge further defining one or more timed events specified by a start time and a duration and associating one or more of the user-definable events with each timed event;

    a timer measuring an elapsed time from the start time of each timed event; and

    the trigger triggering at least one user-definable event when the elapsed time substantially equals the duration of one such timed event.
