The recent boom of GPS (Global Positioning System) as a universal method of location has meant that most people in developed countries have already used this technology sometime in their lives. However, this system suffers from an ever-increasing problem: energy expenditure. GPS receivers have been integrated into increasingly smaller devices such as the latest generation of mobiles, thereby making battery-saving a priority in the use of this technology. This article lays out a series of ideas which, through the use of auxiliary technologies, are able to maximize energy saving. By means of outdoor exit detection, it will be possible to automatically disconnect the GPS while the user stays indoors and later reconnect it on leaving the building.
