Claim 0:
1. A computer program product of, embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium on a user's computing device and comprising computer instructions for:
receiving obfuscated geolocation data of a sender;
recognizing the received geolocation data of the sender as obfuscated;
generating a dynamic display icon configured to represent the received obfuscated geolocation data and visually communicate to the user that the received obfuscated geolocation data is obfuscated; and
displaying, on a display unit of the user's computing device, the generated dynamic display icon superimposed on a graphical mapping interface to visually communicate to the user:
(1) the received obfuscated geolocation data of the sender; and
(2) that the received obfuscated geolocation data of the sender is obfuscated;

wherein the dynamic display icon is at least one of amorphous and asymmetrical; and
wherein generating the dynamic display icon comprises:
generating at least one graphical shape;
applying at least one of randomization and fuzzy logic to at least one attribute of the at least one generated graphical shape to generate the dynamic display icon;
determining if the generated dynamic display icon is transforming with enough randomization or fuzzy logic behavior to continuously generate an amorphous or asymmetrical shape having a clear boundary and opacity; and
upon determination that the generated dynamic display icon is transforming with enough randomization or fuzzy logic behavior to continuously generate an amorphous or asymmetrical shape having a clear boundary and opacity, rendering the dynamic display icon for display.
