About LBS
An LBS is used to track the location of users within a wireless network using location-enabled devices. The LBS makes use of geographic information system (GIS) technology and the internet to track the location of users. The user-initiated LBS requires an internet connection to gather the users' location and provide search results. The various location-enabled mobile devices are smartphones, tablets, personal navigation devices (PNDs), and location-enabled devices fitted in vehicles. LBS is used for discovering places and routes, tracking, obtaining traffic updates, real-time directions, routes to landmarks, information regarding on-going local events, finding friends, location-based advertising, location-based shopping, location-based social networking, and location-enabled searches. It is also used for location-based entertainment and infotainment purposes.
