While social networking sites help you stay in touch with friends and family, map based services put the social aspect back into social networking. These services allow you to meet up with friends, share photos, find new places and build a community of information and make it work for you, in a multitude of ways!
The technology used in such services though complicated to be implemented, are easy to understand. iPhone location services use a combination of - Wi-Fi, cellular, and GPS. These three aspects together help determine the exact location. If your phone’s location based service is mainly GPS based it might work best outdoors in an open space, while a Wi Fi based phone can work efficiently indoors too. Phones like blackberry or iPhone allow such geocoding and geo location options. However, location based services might consume much of the battery power on your phone.
