Location based services (LBS) provide location specific services to users through GPS or wireless networks. LBS provide services such as navigation and mapping of points of interests, weather information and so on. These applications examine the user’s physical location to provide the desired information to the user.

According to the new 18 page report there is an increasing demand for LBS to deliver personalised services such as friend-finding and other location-aware features. For example these services can provide information about restaurants with user reviews. Other useful applications of LBS for business users are fleet management, automated vehicle tracking, and navigation devices. The integration of advanced software with the mobile phone's calendar, traffic and public transport monitoring services etc provides information to the users about their current location and alerts them of traffic or weather problems.
