Are you intending to have a daemon run in the background that tracks the location?

[TooTallNate]

No not really. node itself is more like a daemon than a regular iPhone app, so it's seems like googling for "iphone daemon" gives some good stuff we might be able to use...

[TooTallNate]

It might be necessary, for some of these APIs though, to launch a child process when node-iOS is required, which runs an NSRunLoop and catches necessary events that way; forwarding them to the parent node process via stdin/stdout.

This would essentially be a nasty hack, but would be necessary since node's underlying event loop doesn't use NSRunLoop, but rather kqueue on OSX I believe... Tim Caswell's topcube does a similar approach currently.

I'd look at this... pretty similar to what you want...
