Question

I want to develop an application that stores user’s data on an SQL server.
The data contains location and some user note.
I don’t want to store anything on the user’s iphone.
So what i want to do is an application that gets the user location and check with the server if the location changed for about 100 meters.
I believe this has nothing to do with push notifications.
Am i right? And what do you suggest on how to implement it….
Just Give me an overview of your solution please.

Thanks

This has nothing to do with push notification.

Although, I assume you want to do the same thing than the foursquare application : when you want to checkin, the app sends to the server your actual position, and the server sends back the list of places around, then if you move from a certain distance from your originally point, the app asks the server again for a new list.

So basically, I would just check every 30seconds the position of the user, and if the difference between the last and the current position is above a threshold, just send a request to the server.
