Does anyone know how to get significant location changes in the background in iOS?

 

According to Apple’s docs, there are two types of background GPS location updates (http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/userexperience/conceptual/LocationAwarenessPG/CoreLocation/CoreLocation.html):

 

  1. Continuous GPS updates. Bad for battery life but good for GPS intensive tasks like navigation.

 

  1. GPS updates when significant location changes occur. In general these seem to occur when the user has travelled a mile or so. Much better for battery life.

 

I’ve been able to get #1 working in Corona but not #2. Does anyone know how to do #2?

 

Thanks in advance!
