Abstract: A system and method for monitoring the location of a tracking device are disclosed. An example method includes defining location criteria, associating the location criteria with a user, associating the tracking device with the user, comparing location data generated by the tracking device to the location criteria, and transmitting notification to said user if the location data satisfies the location criteria. An example system includes a tracking device interface for communicating with a tracking device, a network interface for communicating with a user, a processing unit for processing data and code, and memory for storing the data and the code, the data and the code together including data associating the tracking device with the user, location criteria associated with the user, and a monitoring routine operative to transmit notification to the user if location data generated by the tracking device satisfies the location criteria.
