This will be useful for people in trains or other public transport, where one may doze off and miss their destination. In this mode, the gps need to be polled only every minute or so.

What do you think? Is it possible?
I was going to ask this same feature last summer when I was using public transportation a lot and had to transfer between different buses on previous unknown (to me) locations. One should be able to set several POIs with alarm in advance. So prolly the most logical place to have it would be with POIs where one could select if the POI is an alarming type or not.
