Agreed. This patent is not the mother of all geofencing patents: They seemed to have made it specific enough that it is actually not the egregious sort of patent abuse that we so commonly see. A patent can have multiple independent claims, independently enforceable. In this case, however, there are only a few independent claims, each a simple rewrite that only marginally changes scope. The reset are dependent claims that are specializations.
