Claim Text:
1. A method for determining a position of a mobile device relative to a perimeter of a virtual fence, comprising: receiving coordinates representing the perimeter of the virtual fence; determining a proximate location of the mobile device using a hybrid combination of a satellite-based proximate location and an auxiliary local station-based proximate location, wherein determining the proximate location of the mobile device includes determining whether an accuracy of the satellite-based proximate location is greater than a threshold, and wherein the threshold is based on a size of the virtual fence; and providing feedback based on a comparison of the proximate location of the mobile device to the coordinates representing the perimeter of the virtual fence, wherein providing feedback includes providing feedback to a wearer of the mobile device to keep the wearer of the mobile device within the perimeter of the virtual fence.
