### Location tracking under iOS
**iOS 5-6**<br>
The app still runs in background, even if the location service is not actived.
**iOS 7**<br>
The location service needs to be enabled.
### Optimization under WP8
By default the plugin will track for geo updates while the application is in background and foreground. To stop tracking in foreground, the `MainPage.xaml.cs` file needs the following 2 methods:
```c#
namespace your.own.namespace
{
public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
{
/// </summary>
/// The page (the app) will enter the background and the background mode
/// needs to be activated.
/// </summary>
protected override void OnNavigatingFrom(System.Windows.Navigation.NavigatingCancelEventArgs e)
{
Cordova.Extension.Commands.BackgroundMode.Activate();
}
/// </summary>
/// The page (the app) will enter the foreground and the background mode
/// needs to be deactivated.
/// </summary>
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(System.Windows.Navigation.NavigationEventArgs e)
{
Cordova.Extension.Commands.BackgroundMode.Deactivate();
}
}
}
```
