			== Location Based Services ==

			Location Based Services (LBS) include applications that depend on the user location to provide a service/information that is relevant to the user at that location.

			LBS normally use mobile devices with positioning ability to provide the service or information to the user. LBS can be used for personal or professional purposes although most of the services covered here are for personal use since professional services will be covered in other sections<ref name="lbs">[[Wikipedia:Location-based service\|Location-based Services on Wikipedia]]</ref>.
