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.

1. A method comprising: determining, by a computing device, a plurality of geo-locations of a monitoring device, the monitoring device being wearable by a user while performing an activity;identifying, by the computing device, a plurality of times at which the geo-locations are determined;calculating a distance between the geo-locations;calculating a difference between the times to identify a time period; andchanging, by the computing device, a rate of obtaining geo-location data associated with the monitoring device based on the distance between the geo-locations and the time period. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining that the distance between the geo-locations exceeds a pre-determined threshold; anddetermining that the time period exceeds a pre-calculated limit,wherein changing the rate of obtaining geo-location data associated with the monitoring device based on the distance between the geo-locations and the time period comprises: increasing the rate of obtaining the geo-location data upon determining that the distance between the geo-locations exceeds the pre-determined threshold and the time period exceeds the pre-calculated limit. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising: calculating a ratio of the distance between the geo-locations and the time period;determining that the ratio is greater than a pre-determined threshold,wherein changing the rate of obtaining geo-location data associated with the monitoring device based on the distance between the geo-locations and the time period comprises: increasing the rate of obtaining the geo-location data upon determining that the ratio is greater than the pre-determined threshold. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining that the distance between the geo-locations is less than a pre-determined threshold; anddetermining that the time period is less than a pre-calculated limit,wherein changing the rate of obtaining geo-location data associated with the monitoring device based on the distance between the geo-locations and the time period comprises: decreasing the rate of obtaining the geo-location data upon determining that the distance between the geo-locations is less than the pre-determined threshold and the time period is less than the pre-calculated limit. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: calculating a ratio of the distance between the geo-locations and the time period;determining that the ratio is less than a pre-determined threshold;wherein changing the rate of obtaining geo-location data associated with the monitoring device based on the distance between the geo-locations and the time period comprises: decreasing the rate of obtaining the geo-location data upon determining that the ratio is less than the pre-determined threshold. 6.

The method of claim 9, further comprising: determining that the distance between the spatial positions is less than a pre-determined threshold; anddetermining that the time period is less than a pre-calculated limit,wherein changing the rate of obtaining geo-location data associated with the monitoring device based on the distance between the spatial positions and the time period comprises: decreasing the rate of obtaining the geo-location data upon determining that the distance between the spatial positions is less than the pre-determined threshold and the time period is less than the pre-calculated limit. 13. The method of claim 9, further comprising: calculating a ratio of the distance between the spatial positions and the time period;determining that the ratio is less than a pre-determined threshold;wherein changing the rate of obtaining geo-location data associated with the monitoring device based on the distance between the spatial positions and the time period comprises: decreasing the rate of obtaining the geo-location data upon determining that the ratio is less than the pre-determined threshold. 14. The method of claim 9, wherein each of the geo-locations includes a longitude and a latitude. 15. The method of claim 9, wherein the monitoring device includes a bracelet, or a watch, or a wristband. 16. The method of claim 9, wherein the monitoring device is for wearing on a leg of the user, or a wrist of the user, or a forearm of the user, or an upper arm of the user, or a head of the user, or a chest of the user, or a waist of the user, or an article of clothing worn by the user. 17. The method of claim 9, wherein each of the spatial positions include an x co-ordinate, a y co-ordinate, and a z co-ordinate. 18. A method comprising: receiving, by a server, information associated with a monitoring device, the monitoring device for use by a user while the user is performing a plurality of activities;identifying, by the server, based on the information the activities performed by the user;identifying based on the information locations associated with the monitoring device;determining whether a first one of the activities is different from a second one of the activities;determining whether a first one of the locations is different from a second one of the locations; andchanging, by the server, a rate of obtaining geo-location data upon determining that the first activity is different from the second activity and the second location is different from the first location. 19.
