Amazon Location Service Geofences
Amazon Location Geofences lets you give your application the ability to detect and act when a tracked device enters or exits a defined geographical boundary known as a geofence.

This lets you trigger downstream actions such as sending a notification to a target. For additional information, see the Amazon Location Service Developer Guide.
