Please note that version 1.1.0 does not work on devices where freed wakelocks do not ignore the timeout if they are already free, but crash the application instead. This is solved with 1.1.1.
Using the GPS location provider in combination with the background service can lead to high battery use. Please use the network or the passive location provider for background operation.
