1. A computer-implemented method for providing combined alert notifications, comprising:

  • determining, by the one or more computing devices, a relationship among two or more points of interest;

    associating, by the one or more computing devices, the two or more points of interest in response to determining the relationship among the two or more of the points of interest;

    determining, by the one or more computing devices, a geofence boundary of a geofence, wherein the geofence boundary of the geofence encompasses the two or more associated points of interest;

    communicating, by the one or more computing devices, geofence boundary data to a user computing device for the geofence boundary encompassing the two or more associated points of interest, wherein the user computing device is separate and distinct from the one or more computing devices;

    determining, by the one or more computing devices, that the user computing device has entered the geofence boundary; and

    providing, by the one or more computing devices and in response to determining that the user device has entered the geofence boundary encompassing the two or more points of interest, a combined alert on the user computing device regarding the associated points of interest when the user device is determined to be in the geofence boundary.
