• f) viewing on the graphics display of the user's device an indication of the first participant position at said situation using augmented reality, and one point of view is a perspective view from said user GPS location to said first participant position;
• and
• g) repeating steps (a), (b), and (d) for a second position of said participant;
• and
• h) viewing on the graphics display of the user's device an indication of the second position at said situation using augmented reality and one point of view is from said user GPS location to said second position.

A method of viewing a personal networking situation in real time by a user comprising:

• selecting a first position by said user;
• wirelessly receiving multiple GPS positions of a friendly participant in real time as the participant moves at said personal networking situation by said user;
• displaying the networking situation where at least a portion is a graphic rendered in real time, including:
• rendering an augmented reality indication in real time of said friendly participant positions at said personal networking situation, with the friendly participant identified and the positions of said identified friendly participant displayed;
• using said user selected first position as the viewpoint for viewing the augmented reality indication of said identified friendly participant from said user selected first position to said friendly participant positions, wherein said viewpoint is a perspective view and not an overhead plan view of said situation;
