A mobile computing device is disclosed. The mobile computing device includes a location determination circuit and a processing circuit. The processing circuit determines a current location of the mobile computing device and a destination location. The processing circuit determines an expected travel time from the current location to the destination location, and disables continuous location tracking for a duration of time. The duration is determined based on the expected travel time. Once the duration of time has elapsed, the processing circuit enables continuous location tracking.

Location tracking for mobile computing device

A mobile computing device comprises a wireless transceiver and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to store a data set for a predetermined location, the data set comprising location data and a location name. The processing circuit is further configured to compare a current location to the location data, to compare an updated location to the location data at a time calculated based on heuristic data, and to generate a notification message based on the mobile computing device arriving at or near the predetermined location.

A mobile computing device includes a housing, a processor provided within the housing, and a location-determining system configured to determine a current location of the mobile computing device at a first rate. The location determining system may be configured to adjust the first rate to a different second rate based on a threshold distance value and a distance from the current location to an anticipated future location of the mobile computing device.
