A method, apparatus, and computer program product for performing hybrid location monitoring of a mobile device. While performing region monitoring for a set of regions, a mobile device enters a first region. Upon entering a region, the mobile device requests region information for the region from a web server. Using the region information, the mobile device determines whether to enable location updates while within the region. Upon exiting the region, the mobile device determines whether to disable location updates. While performing location updates, the location of the mobile device can be tracked and be determined to be within other contained or partially contained irregularly shaped geofences.

A method, apparatus, and computer program product for reducing battery consumption while tracking a location of a mobile device. A location tracking application at the mobile device registers to receive location updates from the mobile device. The application receives a location update from the mobile device and determines whether to transmit location information from the received location update to a remote web server.
