|
+In recent years location-based services have seen a dramatic increase in
|
|
78
|
+ adoption, and all modern smartphone platforms have integrated services
|
|
79
|
+ to facilitate the creation location-aware applications.
|
|
80
|
+ Such applications enhance the experience of users, using location to modify
|
|
81
|
+ content or alter the behaviour of the application to better suit the circumstan
