This chapter gives consideration to how use of any one location-sensitive mobile application routinely occurs alongside and intermingled with the use of a wide array of other applications that also include various forms of location functionality. The argument of this chapter is that understanding the complexities driving these end-user choices of application selection and interaction is crucial if one is to more fully grasp the ties that bind platforms, political economies, and publics, and if one is to critically respond to key policy considerations, such as the privacy impacts and implications of location-based services.

The functionalities of smart phones have extended from basic voice communication to gaming, multimedia entertainment, information retrieval and location-based services. In this paper, we attempt to design a mobile application to assist visitors to have better understandings of popular tourist destinations and related routing information while on tour. The users can obtain descriptions of a specific attraction by simply taking the picture of a landmark photo often shown in the travel booklet using their mobile devices. This is achieved by matching the landmark picture with an image database containing popular tourist spots to locate the interested destination. The location information is further confirmed using techniques in intelligent character recognition. Upon successful identification of the interested location, tourist information regarding this destination, along with the routing details will be delivered using location-based service. We anticipate the proposed mobile application to effectively assist foreign visitors by bringing comprehensive, up-to-date tourist information and promoting better travel experience.

The development of information technology has a direct impact on the improvement of the mobile phone industry, resulting in increased production and use of smartphones as a medium of information exchange. This development also creates an evolution in the world of mobile services. Android is one of the operating systems on mobile phones that provides an open platform for developers to build applications on various mobile devices. This research aims to build an Android-based mobile application that provides information on tourist attractions in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah. in real time and apply location-based services to the application. This TMII travel guide mobile application was created using Android Studio as an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), Google Maps API, and SQLite and MySql. The programming languages used are java, xml, sql, and php. The research method used is the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) approach with the Rapid Application Development (RAD) model.

With the increasing growth of population in mega cities like Dhaka, most of the Agricultural land has given away for housing, factories, highways and other urban needs. As a result, lack of crop production as well as various environmental crisis has already been showing up with a great threat to humankind. Rooftop gardening can be an effective method to reduce this problem and the nutritional needs of the inhabitants. But for the unavailability of the necessary resources, supports and lack of awareness among the people, most of the spaces available at the rooftop are being unutilized. We have proposed an online and smartphone-based approach to overcome the above limitations. Though the current popularity of smartphones causes rising of different mobile application technologies and selecting the appropriate one could be challenging. Here we have introduced some latest technology stack that fit best to develop our application with a comparative study of the suitable geo-location-based services. AgriTouch, a smartphone app, will act as a bridge between the gardeners and the service providers to maintain the balance of nature.

Fieldwork is an important aspect of geography learning in higher educational institutions. Under the support of mobile technologies, the process and method of fieldwork in geography education have significantly been changed. However, the in-depth combination of Location-Based Services (LBSs) and geography fieldwork is still in the initial exploration stage. This paper designed and implemented a professional geography fieldwork platform based on Lushan, a famous geography fieldwork education station in Jiangxi, China. The platform includes the student-side mobile application, teacher-side mobile application, and a web back-end management system. Three specific technologically-enhanced applied modes were put forward based on the platform, which contains teacher-centered, semi-supervised, and student-independent modes. Students’ views on the three applied modes and usage in the fieldwork platform were collected through a questionnaire. The result shows that the LBS fieldwork platform has significant support for geography fieldwork. It meets the needs of students and reduces the burden for teachers. The teacher-centered is the most popular mode for students. Due to the unguaranteed fieldwork safety, inconvenient dynamic adjustment, and the habit of relying on the teacher’s explanation, the student-independent mode based on the LBS platform has apparent limitations. Nevertheless, students can recognize its potential in improving their practical, cooperative, and autonomous abilities. They are willing to try independent fieldwork supported by the platform in several days.

Many efforts have been initiated and many techniques and approaches have been developed to facilitate the difficulties faced by pilgrims. However, those studies focus on acquiring initial perspective and background knowledge about Hajj before going to Makkah. In conjunction to that, this study utilizes A-GPS in mobile phone to assist the pilgrims during Hajj. The main aim of this paper is to discuss about the development of a multi-modal mobile application called the Personal Digital Mutawwif (PDM), using location based services to assist pilgrims while performing all the rituals of Hajj. Android platform has been chosen due to the dramatic increased in the Android mobile phone users worldwide. PDM displays the Arabic text, the translation in Malay and also the Arabic audio files of the dua and zikr, which has been gathered, compiled, and verified before the development using Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME). The application has been proven to be useful in helping the pilgrims to easily and conveniently recite the dua and zikr towards achieving Hajj Mabrur.

. The article discusses the advantages of using geoinformation technologies when creating a mobile application for searching for services and registering a client when ordering a selected service, as well as keeping records of services rendered for an organization providing services. Currently, there are a large number of applications on the software market for solving these problems. However, due to the lack of map services in the app, not all of them are user-friendly. Although the use of map services is optional, they make the application much easier for the end user to use. A good example would be using such an application to find a place to provide services outside the company’s office. The application uses a navigator that automatically builds a route to the place of service. Another example would be the use of map services to collect information about services as well as the quality of services provided. This will further improve the search algorithms in the application, and get the current rating of services
