Background Geolocation for React Native & Expo

[ npm ]() [ npm ]()

The most sophisticated background location-tracking & geofencing SDK with battery-conscious motion-detection intelligence for iOS and Android.

The SDK uses motion-detection APIs (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer) to detect when the device is moving or stationary:

Moving — location recording starts automatically at the configured distanceFilter (metres)
Stationary — location services turn off automatically to conserve battery

[!IMPORTANT] This is v5. For the previous version see v4.x. v4.x license keys do not work with v5 — log in to the Customer Dashboard to generate a v5 key. See the Migration Guide for details.
