1. A method comprising:
determining, by a first device, first location data representing a location of the first device using location sensors of the first device;
transmitting a probe request, by the first device of a first user;
receiving a probe response, at the first device, from a second device of a second user comprising second location data of the second device, the second location data being different from the first location data;
sending, to a server from the first device, an electronic communication comprising the first location data of the first device and the second location data of the second device, the electronic communication separately identifying the first location data and the second location data; and
causing display of a user interface comprising a map, the map comprising a first representation of a location of the first device, and a second representation of a location of the second device, the first representation of the location of the first device and the second representation of the location of the second device both being included within a region bounded by an indicator that specifies that users of the first and second devices are spending time together.
