GeoFencing is poised to revolutionize smartphone applications and services. Applications become proactive, running automatically when nearing a relevant location, and targeting their services to the user and to the location.

How can a device monitor when it enters a GeoFence without draining all its battery running GPS How can a device know when it is five minutes away from a target location, when the user might be speeding or might be stuck in traffic How can a device monitor GeoFences in areas where GPS coverage is bad
