I’m currently developing a .NET MAUI application as a newbie, and I’m trying to implement a real-time GPS tracker that can calculate distance traveled. I’ve managed to retrieve real-time coordinates and update total distance traveled using Microsoft docs.
However, I’d like the app to continue tracking distance even when it’s running in the background (e.g., when minimized). I’ve searched online but mostly find resources for Xamarin Forms, not utilizing the new MAUI geolocation. Can someone please help me figure out how to achieve this for both Android and iOS? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
To implement a real-time GPS tracker in a .NET MAUI application that continues tracking distance even when the app is running in the background, you’ll need to handle background location updates separately for Android and iOS platforms.
