Here’s the last comment from the team on this -

Use triangulation instead of GPS

We actually do exactly this already The key phrase for iOS is “Significant Location Change”, which is activated when switching cell towers, and not by GPS. As a result, this feature does not drain your battery like GPS would. We regularly run power profiling as part of development, because we care a lot about battery drain too. tl;dr We’re doing the same thing as Dark Sky Perhaps we should add this to our FAQ? Thanks for the feedback @keirwilliams
