1. A method comprising:
- receiving a first geo-location of a monitoring device at a first time;
receiving a second geo-location of the monitoring device at a second time;
determining a distance difference between the second and the first geo-locations;
determining whether the distance difference exceeds a pre-determined threshold;
decreasing a rate of obtaining additional geo-locations when the distance difference does not exceed the pre-determined threshold within a pre-determined amount of time; and
sending an instruction including the decreased rate of obtaining the additional geo-locations to the monitoring device.

Abstract
A method includes obtaining a first geo-location and a second geo-location. The first and second geo-locations are associated with a monitoring device. The monitoring device is configured to be used by a user. The first geo-location is determined at a first time and the second geo-location is determined at a second time. The first time and the second time are associated with a rate of obtaining geo-location data. The method includes calculating a difference in distance between the second and first geo-locations and changing the rate of obtaining a third geo-location associated with the monitoring device based on the difference in distance between the second and first geo-locations.
