1. A method of monitoring a target entity, comprising:
- defining a geographic rule for the target entity;
receiving a location signal for the target entity, the location signal representing a current location of the target entity;
determining whether the current location of the target entity satisfies the geographic rule; and
providing a notification if the current location of the target entity satisfies the geographic rule;
wherein the target entity is a first target entity, and the geographic rule is based on a distance between the first target entity and a second target entity, the first and second target entities being mobile.
