OwnTracks – keep track of your own location
The ownTracks docs for beacons is at [1,2], whereas there an open issue on the Overland repo suggesting something similar [3].
I think that getting a location [4] and detecting the presence and proximity of beacons [5] use different parts of the Core Location API.

The new warrant: how US police mine Google for your location and search history
There is an open source iOS app called Overland[0] that can continuously track your location history in the background and upload the data to an arbitrary endpoint as GeoJSON.
The "protocol" consists of a single HTTP request and response, so you can easily write your own server software to store the data however you want, which is what I did.
If you don't want to write your own backend, you can also just use the server software[1] the author of the app uses, which is also open source.

OwnTracks – keep track of your own location
An alternative is the Overland app for iOs [1] or Android [2], logging to compass [3]
Each has features that the other doesn't: OwnTracks can apparently determine a location using iBeacons, whereas Overland can't (though it can detect WiFi networks). Overland lets you record your mode of travel (e.g., driving, cycling, walking), whereas this still seems to be an unimplemented "idea" for OwnTracks [4]. Compass is also designed for tracking a single person, whereas OwnTrack can handle multiple.
