1. A method for determining data for a geographic zone, comprising:
- determining the geographic zone for monitoring;
changing a size of a perimeter of the geographic zone responsive to occurrence of predetermined criteria, the predetermined criteria including a designated location for a user, a designated time of day; and
a predetermined speed of the user;
providing an option to send a message to all contacts of the user that are currently located within the geographic zone;
receiving data related to a plurality of contacts of the user entering the geographic zone;
providing an indication, to the user, that the plurality of contacts of the user is currently located in the geographic zone; and
executing the option to send the message thereby causing the message to be only sent to the plurality of contacts of the user that is current located in the geographic zone, wherein the message is not sent to a contact of the user that is not currently location within the geographic zone.
