Since continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life, Place Alarm has different modes that tries to balance the trade off between tracking your exact location all the time and battery life.
Place alarm uses an IOS function that activates Place Alarm when a "significant location change" has occurred. This is basically when the iPhone needs to change gsm cell tower.
When Place Alarm has been activated, depending on your settings, it starts to track your exact location for a certain amount of minutes and then "goes to sleep" until a next "significant location change occurs". In most cases Place Alarm only needs to track your movements for 10-20 minutes and still be able to trigger alarms at your set locations.
Requires iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 with iOS 4 or later
