The past decade has seen major advances in location‐based technologies and geospatial information. Gradually, the public's awareness and consideration of the spatial aspects of life are increasing, due to the ubiquity of so‐called location‐based services (LBS). While popular navigation or mapping services like Google Maps have contributed to this “revolution,” today's LBS include an amazing variety of services and are imposing themselves in a much larger spectrum of daily activities. The current evolution of LBS suggests that in the near future, when certain technological challenges have been overcome, geolocated information about a large number of people and objects in our environment will be available anytime and anywhere, in a way that will be tailored to users' needs, and LBS will be embedded in daily life. Within this context, this entry reviews the current state of LBS‐related issues and research, starting with an overview of historical development and current applications, an analysis of the impacts of LBS, and a discussion of current and future challenges that the research community is facing in shaping the future of LBS.
