Abstract
A device comprises a global positioning system (GPS) sensor and a circuit. The GPS sensor is switchable between a high power state and a lower power state. The circuit is configured to dynamically adjust a power state duty cycle of the GPS sensor based on at least a golf-event interrupt. The power state duty cycle defines a percentage of a period in which the GPS sensor operates in a high power state relative to a lower power state.
