A method comprising:
- receiving, at a first computer device associated with a first person, a selection of a distance range from a plurality of distance ranges;
- receiving, at the first computer device, a selection of a second person;
- transmitting first data from the first computing device, the first data identifying the second person and the selected distance range, the first data corresponding to a request to pair the first person with the second person at the selected distance range;
- receiving second data at the first computer device, the second data indicating the second person accepted the request to pair the first person with the second person at the selected distance range;
- displaying a map on the first computing device, the map comprising:
- a location of the first person;
- a plurality of geographical features in the vicinity of the first person, the plurality of geographical features selected from the group consisting of a road, a body of water, a town, a city, and a state border;
- an indication of the area within the map that is within a second distance range, of the plurality of distance ranges, from the first person;
