gpsd already does that.  Look at cgps, xgps, gpsmon, etc.

Don't assume anything.  The u-blox chips do not work the same.  Pick
one.  First.

Chicken and egg problem.  If the GNSS receiver is power saving, then it
does not know where it is, so geofencing will be impossible,

The power saving possible in the reciver is tiny compared to even
a small CPU, like Rasperry Pi.

You need a problem definition first.  gpsd has a lot of code that does
a lot of things.
