# Background Geolocation for Cordova
[]() []()
The most sophisticated background **location-tracking & geofencing** SDK with battery-conscious motion-detection intelligence for **iOS** and **Android**.
The SDK uses **motion-detection** APIs (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer) to detect when the device is *moving* or *stationary*:
- **Moving** — location recording starts automatically at the configured `distanceFilter` (metres)
- **Stationary** — location services turn off automatically to conserve battery
> [!IMPORTANT]
> This is **`v5`**. For the previous version see [`v4.x`](https://github.com/transistorsoft/cordova-background-geolocation-lt/tree/4.18.2). **`v4.x`** license keys do **not** work with **`v5`** — log in to the [Customer Dashboard](https://transistorsoft.com) to generate a **`v5`** key. See the [Migration Guide](help/MIGRATION-GUIDE-v5.md) for details.
