A method of providing connection source recommendations using a database of historic data on connectivity starts with a processor receiving location and connection information from each mobile device. Location information may identify a location of each mobile device, respectively. Connection information may identify one of the connection sources as a preferred connection source used to identify the location of each mobile device, respectively. Processor may then store, in database, location and connection information. Database may include a plurality of location information and a history of connection information for each location information. When processor determines that mobile device has changed location, processor may transmit to mobile device connection information recommendation based on an analysis of database. Processor may transmit conservation command to each mobile device, respectively, to reduce operation of sensors to connection sources other than the preferred connection source for each mobile device, respectively. Other embodiments are described.
