Location-based services are services that use GPS mapping services available on smartphones to deliver value-added services. They include geosocial services, geoadvertising, and geoinformation services. A geosocial service can tell you where your friends are meeting. Geoadvertising services can tell you where to find the nearest Italian restaurant, and geoinformation services can tell you the price of a house you are looking at, or about special exhibits at a museum you are passing. Student answers as to the most valuable of these services will vary; an example is: I feel that geoadvertising services have the most potential for profit, as it is based on a profit-making mechanism: advertising. Geosocial services and geoinformation services, by themselves, are more content- and communication-oriented.
