A React Native plugin providing background and foreground geolocation tracking, forked from a Cordova plugin. It supports battery-saving circular region monitoring and stop detection while tracking the user when the app runs in the background.
Use cases
- track user location when app is in background
- battery-efficient geolocation monitoring in react native
- running a foreground location service on android
- detect when user stops moving
- geofencing with circular region monitoring
- log gps coordinates continuously on mobile
When to choose
- you need location tracking in a React Native app while it is backgrounded
- you want battery-saving location strategies like stop detection
- you need a cross-platform Android/iOS geolocation plugin
When to avoid
- you are not using React Native or Cordova
- you need active development with frequent updates
- your target devices aggressively kill background services and you cannot handle vendor-specific quirks
