Windows Phone 7 - tracking user location in background?

Question

I am working on WP7 application to track user location. I need to track location with GeoCordinateWatcher (using StatusChanged / PositionChanged events) even when device screen is being locked.

How to do that?

Answer 1

Your question is already well-documented in this MSDN doc (there is even a sample available ). In Windows Phone 7, this is not possible - there are a lot of API implications that target only Windows Phone 8.
