As anyone who has ever traveled knows, whether it’s for work or pleasure, traveling can be stressful—there’s no doubt about it. From the time you leave home until the time you return, thousands of decisions will have to be made. 我应该把车停在哪里?, what terminal do I need to be at, 我怎么到登机门, 我有时间吃饭吗, 我在哪里可以买到食物? 这么多的决定!

Location-based services (LBS) can improve travelers’ experience by providing information about available parking, gates, 餐馆和零售场所. It helps you understand where you are, and gets you where you need to be.
