copied!<p>Unfortunately, all of your assumptions seem correct, and I don't think there's a way to do this. In order to save battery life, the iPhone's location services are based on movement. If the phone sits in one spot, it's invisible to location services.</p> <p>The <code>CLLocationManager</code> will only call <code>locationManager:didUpdateToLocation:fromLocation:</code> when the phone receives a location update, which only happens if one of the three location services (cell tower, gps, wifi) perceives a change. </p> <p>A few other things that might help inform further solutions:</p> <ul> <li><p>Starting & Stopping the services causes the <code>didUpdateToLocation</code> delegate method to be called, but the <code>newLocation</code> might have an old timestamp.</p></li> <li><p><a href="http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/LocationAwarenessPG/CoreLocation/CoreLocation.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009497-CH2-SW10" rel="nofollow">Region Monitoring might help</a> </p></li> <li><p>When running in the background, be aware that it may be difficult to get "full" LocationServices support approved by Apple. From what I've seen, they've specifically designed <code>startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges</code> as a low power alternative for apps that need background location support, and strongly encourage developers to use this unless the app absolutely needs it.</p></li> </ul> <p>Good Luck!</p> <p>UPDATE: These thoughts may be out of date by now. Looks as though people are having success with @wjans answer, above.</p>
