Hi guys. Can anyone suggest a good app for this purpose? I know there were some old ones that were in the market early in the year like geo alert or locale but they seem clumsy and not to great from what I've seen. Can anyone make any recommendations? Thanks!

There is a little bit of a learning curve to start with but Tasker is by far the best app to do that.

I'd have to agree with this. It is not the simpliest but it is by far the most versatile. Mine is setup to turn off 4G and go into vibrate when I get within 1 mile of work.

Does this mean your GPS is always on? Or does it periodically check? It would have to be on to know when you get within 1 mile of work.

it can use cell triangulation as well as turning gps on every 5 mins (or whenever) to see where you are for various profiles.

tasker is well worth the money
