1. The Location-based World > Summary
In this introductory chapter, we have identified how LBS work — the buzzwords behind all things location and the importance of GPS.
Specifically, we discovered:
- LBS, and its applications in the real world
- How Apple uses Location in its iOS devices
- GPS how it works
- Non-GPS-based solutions for location
We also discussed new potentials in LBS markets — that of Indoor Navigation.
Now that we've got our feet grounded in location, we can move to the next chapter that introduces Apple's Xcode IDE and HTML5-based app development tools.
