The possibilities for location-based services or LBS on mobile go beyond consumer-facing apps like FourSquare and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/blackboard\/shopkick\">Shopkick<\/a>.\u00a0They&#8217;re powering advertisements and new cutting-edge local-mobile marketing, as well as many other services \u2014 from weather to travel apps.<\/p>\n<p>In a\u00a0<strong>recent report<\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/intelligence.businessinsider.com\/mobile-location-based-services-for-marketers-2013-5?utm_source=House&amp;utm_medium=Edit&amp;utm_term=LB37&amp;utm_content=link&amp;utm_campaign=BIIMobile\"><strong>BI\u00a0Intelligence<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on location-based data, we analyze the opportunities emerging from this new local-mobile paradigm.\u00a0LBS have evolved far beyond smartphones and basic proximity marketing.

It&#8217;s less accurate than pure GPS data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wi-Fi connection<\/strong>: It&#8217;s an accurate method but requires an active Wi-Fi hotspot. Wi-Fi locations are matched with GPS coordinates. It can pinpoint a user to a specific storefront, which is why many retailers are rolling out free public Wi-Fi to enable in-store mobile ads.<\/li>\n<li><strong>IP address<\/strong>: Location can be gauged by the\u00a0IP address\u00a0associated with the data connection. The accuracy of this approach varies between carriers, and is far less reliable than the above methods.<\/li>\n<li><strong>User-reported<\/strong>: When users sign up for emails or register for mobile apps and services, they often enter their addresses and zip codes. This data can be translated into GPS coordinates to build a geolocation profile of a single user or user base.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>The ability to collect user location data and track it has raised some concerns over privacy. However, Android and iOS give users the ability to opt out of location tracking altogether via their settings.<\/div>\n<p>As <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/intelligence.businessinsider.com\/mobile-location-based-services-for-marketers-2013-5?utm_source=House&amp;utm_medium=Edit&amp;utm_term=LB37&amp;utm_content=link&amp;utm_campaign=BIIMobile\">we detail in our report<\/a><\/strong>, there are many opportunities emerging from this new local-mobile paradigm, including location-enabled mobile ads, search, and\u00a0features that boost engagement for apps.<\/p>\n<div>Read more: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/mobile-location-based-services-and-location-data-2013-8#ixzz2bpOQ8g3S\">http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/mobile-location-based-services-and-location-data-2013-8#ixzz2bpOQ8g3S<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With over 770 million GPS-enabled smartphones, location data has begun to permeate the entire mobile space.
