So only if you have multiple interior locations covered... assuming when no beacons are detected that the person has left the area. kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters seems like it would be good enough of a geofence to use without beacons. I don't want to go all kCLLocationAccuracyBestForNavigation
