You need to make use of the pause and resume for the watch location function:

@waltercolindres i am already using pause and resume events. But i also need background tracking. I am starting background tracking on pause event and stopping it on resume.

If you are making float calculation on every location change, it will drain battery. Try to optimize calculations.
