Location-based services are in high demand. Get to know the nitty-gritty of building an app with GPS tracking functionality.

Remember how some ten years ago you’ve used to meet up with someone and explain to them how to get to your place? Three blocks down, turn at the corner second corner on the right, walk till the house with a blue door and then turn into an alley and then it’s the second door on the left.  

While some of us still give those scattered instructions, more often we just choose to forward a map dot indicating where we stand. And that’s the beauty of GPS and location tracking in action.

You don’t need a map or asking strangers for directions. Your phone will guide you towards the place you need and indicate where’s the exact thing you need – a 24/7 taco stall, closest pharmacy or a prospective date. For businesses location-based services offer a wide range of opportunities as well – from enhanced customer service to more precise marketing and higher in-store traffic. For startups those have opened up a whole new level of product and services opportunities.
