INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
GPS has been with us for many years, and this is what most consumers think about when they hear the term location-based services (LBS)
While the satellite-based routing capability needed to help us get directions will remain an important capability for the foreseeable
future, location-based services is morphing into something that is well beyond what the original creators envisioned.Indeed, as we progress
to a more autonomous world, the future will be driven by a required knowledge of location, both internally and externally to our immediate
This includes in-building and other enclosed spaces, something GPS is not capable of providing
Further, location will be used as a filter for providing many forms of additional related data
Knowing what around us is the only way we can operate autonomous &things& as well as mobile devices doing real work
Finally, the notion of what is a map is changing dramatically as high-resolution images, environmental factors, and augmented
reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) capability make their way into location-enabled apps.
