Nativescript Background GPS Plugin

NOTE

This plugin does not currently work in the background. The project is exploratory to create a simple background GPS service, but thus far it is not working.

This is a plugin to receive gps location updates regardless of the app state.

Getting started

tns plugin add nativescript-background-gps

Usage

import { gps } from 'nativescript-background-gps';

gps.on(function (location) { console.log(location); }
