Methods

• startTracking() - Enables location tracking. Returns an observable which emits the position of the device. Emitted position objects conform to the CoreoBackgroundTrackingPosition interface.
• stopTracking() - Disables location tracking.
• getCurrentLocation - Retrieves the current position of the device using maximum power and accuracy. Returns a promise which is resolved with an object conforming to the CoreoBackgroundTrackingPosition interface.
• setConfig(config) - Sets the config to be used by the cordova-background-geolocation plugin. See [the cordova-background-geolocation-lt] (https://github.com/transistorsoft/cordova-background-geolocation-lt/blob/master/docs/README.md#wrench-configuration-options-1) for a list of config options that can be set.
• setAccuracyFilter(accuracyFilter) - Sets the accuracy filter in meters. Positions retrieved from the cordova-background-geolocation plugin are only accepted if they have an accuracy equal to or less than the accuracy filter.

Properties

• isTracking: boolean - Flag indicating whether location tracking is currently enabled.
