You have to start a timer that plays a sound every 10 seconds. But the sound can be silent.

Problem

As of IPhone OS 3.0, MotionX GPS is able to keep recording a GPS track while in sleep mode. After you push the sleep button on top of the phone, the app continues receiving GPS coordinates and recording them. Does anyone know how they're able to do this? I'm only aware of the method to keep running audio while in sleep mode.
