[aerogear-dev] [UPS] Geolocation Support

[Summers Pittman]

What other companies provide geofencing and what do their APIs look like?
I know Google has some stuff for Android buried in Google Play Services.

In general I think it might be less big brother if instead of the user 
reporting their location we add in metadata to filter incoming 
messages.  This will have us sending more metadata but we don't have to 
worry about what if some bad guy compromises the server and start 
following his mother-in-law.
