About location-based services
LBS use location-enabled devices to track the location of users within the range of a wireless network. This is done with the help of GIS and the Internet. Location-
enabled mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, PNDs; and location-enabled in-dash devices can search for places and routes; obtain traffic updates and real-time
directions; provide information on current local events; find friends; assist in location-based advertising and shopping; enable location-based social networking and
searches; and provide location-based entertainment and infotainment.
Technavio's analysts forecast the global location-based services market to grow at a CAGR of 37.68 percent over the period 2014-2019.
