The present invention relates to a portable terminal and, more specifically, to an apparatus and a method for reducing the battery consumption of a portable terminal. The method for reducing the battery consumption of the portable terminal comprises: a process for calculating path information from the current position of the portable terminal to the inputted destination and alarm time for arrival in the destination or the neighboring area of the destination when the destination is inputted; and a process for deactivating a positioning module before the alarm time for grasping the current position by activating the positioning module of the portable terminal in the alarm time, and for notifying the user when the current position is the destination or the neighboring area of the destination.
