Location-Based Push Message?

[Dan Friedman]

Monte,

So, your saying that in the confines of LC, it can't be done... not without the app running and polling the location every so often?

Then check the location every so often and send a local notification when in the right area. There are better/lower battery power solutions if you don't need a high level of accuracy but this is the only way without an external to add some more core location features. For example with an external you could define a location and radius and have your app woken in the background to do something when the user went in or out which I think would do exactly what you need if you send a local notification when woken...
