Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: retrieving a first location and a first time stamp associated with the first location; retrieving a second location and a second time stamp associated with the second location; determining a predicted location for a portable computing device by incrementing a current location by a product of a rate of movement and a time interval, the predicted location indicating a location at the time interval from a current time, the rate of movement determined from the first location, the first time stamp, the second location, and the second time stamp; retrieving a data exchange quality associated with the predicted location; determining, using the data exchange quality associated with the predicted location, whether the portable computing device is capable of exchanging data with a server while the portable computing device is located at the predicted location; and responsive to determining the portable computing device is not capable of exchanging data with the server while the portable computing device is located at the predicted location, increasing a frequency with which the portable computing device exchanges data with the server while the portable computing device is at a location prior to entering the predicted location.
