On-demand apps, like delivery services, frequently make considerable use of GPS capabilities.

Uber, one of the most popular on-demand transportation apps, pairs consumers with nearby drivers based on their location. It also allows users to know where their taxi is when it will arrive, and to track their and estimated trip time in real-time (while physically inside the Uber). GetTaxi, an app our team built from the ground up, is another example of a similar use case.

Individuals can use location-based service apps to identify providers/local companies in their area and receive the services they require.
