    You should read the section Implementing Long-Running Background Tasks of in here.
    And then pursue either register for significant location changes or declare itself as needing continuous background location updates.

    Furthermore a solution to this problem was given here by wjans.
    And I quote:

    Found a solution to implement this with the help of the Apple
    Developer Forums. I did the following:
    •Specify location background
    mode
    •Use an NSTimer in the background by using
    UIApplication:beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler:
    •In case n is
    smaller than UIApplication:backgroundTimeRemaining it does works just
    fine, in case n is larger, the location manager should be enabled (and
    disabled) again before there is no time remaining to avoid the
    background task being killed. This does work since location is one of
    the three allowed types of background execution.

    Good luck 🙂
