A React Native and Expo SDK providing battery-conscious background location tracking and geofencing for iOS and Android. It uses motion-detection sensors to toggle GPS on and off, persists locations to SQLite, and uploads them via HTTP with retry.
Use cases
- track delivery driver location in background of react native app
- battery-efficient background geolocation for ios and android
- geofencing triggers when app is terminated
- fleet tracking with react native
- resume location tracking after device reboot
- upload location data to server with offline queue
When to choose
- you need reliable background location tracking that survives app termination and reboots
- battery life is critical and you want motion-based GPS toggling
- you're building a React Native or Expo app for fleet, delivery, or fitness tracking
When to avoid
- you need a fully free open-source solution for release builds - a paid license is required
- you only need foreground location access
- you're not using React Native, Expo, Flutter, Capacitor, or Cordova
