From March 2015 to Present (10 months) Founder @ Created my own brand 'WinningFactory' and one of the project includes an iPhone app called iGuard UK which tracks your position in the background and warns you of any serious crime patterns as your position changes, while you do something else on the phone such as texting and the app can be totally switched off at the same time, and it will run itself in the background when necessary. I used police.uk crime data, converted the coordinates from northing/easting to long/lat, with a formula that takes into account curvature of earth. The app uses latest Apple technique for battery preservation so if the app is working all day tracking your location, your battery will not be affected significantly.
