Specially programmed computing devices being continuously configured to allow unfamiliar individuals to have an in-person instantaneous meeting involving local color

An apparatus for Global Positioning System-directed locating, the apparatus including:

• at least one server configured to carry out operations including:
• mediating electronic communications, over a network between a mobile computing device and a client computing device, such that the communications maintain first user anonymity with respect to the client computing device, and electronically send an expected first user identity for the mobile computing device to the client computing device, and maintain second user anonymity with respect to the mobile computing device, and electronically send an expected second user identity for the client computing device to the mobile computing device;
• and
• initiating, by said communications, a meeting, a pickup, or a delivery, the meeting, the pickup, or the delivery involving the mobile computing device and the client computing device, including:
• sending a location to the mobile computing device;
• sending the location to the client computing device;
• determining, based on real-time GPS-received location information for the mobile computing device and based on location information for the client computing device, driving directions to the location, walking directions to the location, or both;
• sending the directions to at least one of the mobile computing device and the client computing device so as to facilitate travel to the location;
• and
• sending at least one secret key, to one of the mobile computing device and the client device, that is verified in connection with the meeting, the pickup, or the delivery via another of the mobile computing device and the client device, said at least one secret key being randomly generated or derived using a key derivation algorithm.
