So Ingress is pretty cool - I would like to make games that use similar geotagging features.
I’m wondering if we have a mechanism for registering our app to get GPS location notifications?
As in, in the background monitor the location of the device and then pop a local alert or have the app open.
Let’s say I’m taking the bus to downtown from my house, and I cross some invisible “boundary”. The phone would buzz and open the app.
Or maybe if I went to some pizza place the app would buzz and I could “take over” the location?
Sort of like a 4square type of thing?
I’m looking at the location API - but I am thinking I have to do a timer? or is that how it is done? In that I register the location with the GPS on the phone and it calls into my app automatically?
