Answer 1

I think you can do it in background with a Timer:

[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:kAlertInterval target:self selector:@selector(checkLoc:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

And in your method:

- (void)checkLoc:(NSTimer *)timer {
    //...get your location and...
     if ([UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationState == UIApplicationStateBackground) {
        //Do your background stuff
    }
}

I have this code working in some apps. Please, tell me if it works for you.
