LocationEventHub.OnLocationReceived += location =>
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Lat: {location.Latitude}, Lng: {location.Longitude}");
};

📖 Full docs: Getting Started

⚙️ Configuration

Configure the tracking via LocationTrackingOptions:

builder.Services.AddLocationTracking(options =>
{
    options.Interval = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2);
    options.Accuracy = LocationAccuracy.High;
    options.EnableBackgroundTracking = true;
});

📘 See Configuration

📱 Platform Setup

Make sure you configure:

AndroidManifest.xml: location permissions + foreground service
Info.plist for iOS: location background modes & usage description

🧭 See Platform Setup Guide

🧪 Advanced Usage

Export logs
Customize logger

🧠 Advanced Usage

🛠 Troubleshooting

App killed = background tracking stops on Android unless JobScheduler is configured.
iOS requires correct background modes.
Ensure permissions are requested before starting tracking.
