Can a CLLocationManager manage 2 or more locations at the same time in swift 3

Question

i have a problem that i cant seem to find the answer anywhere, i have a global CLLocationManager() variable, in the viewController, so that i can see when the user enters or leave a location with the locationManager callBacks, and it works perfectly with only one location at a time, but i want to make the app monitor 2 or more locations at the same time. I created a function to start it:

  var coreLocationManger = CLLocationManager()

  func setMonitoredRegion(location:CLLocation) {

    let startLocation = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: location.coordinate.latitude, longitude: location.coordinate.longitude)
    let monitoredRegion = CLCircularRegion(center: startLocation, radius: 100, identifier: "Local Region")

        coreLocationManger.startMonitoring(for: monitoredRegion)
        coreLocationManger.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true

        coreLocationManger.delegate = self
        monitoredRegion.notifyOnEntry = true
        monitoredRegion.notifyOnExit = true

}

this func, asks for a location to be managed, and when i use this multiple times with various locations, it just manages the last location that was given! Do you guys have any tips on that? Thank you

You keep overwriting the region each time you call the function. Make sure region identifier is different for each location.
