    Location-Based Services Usage and Perceptions Survey (December 2010, U.S., UK, Germany, Canada and Japan) Overall, awareness, familiarity and usage of location-based services (LBS) remains low across all countries surveyed. However, there are indications that widespread adoption is only a matter of time as perceived value of these services is high among those who use them. Key findings: • 6 in 10 are aware of LBS, but confusion remains about what LBS are. • Among those who use LBS, 94% said they were either very valuable (41%) or somewhat valuable (53%). • GPS and weather alerts are most common uses of LBS while only 18% use LBS for sharing their location with others. • 52% of respondents expressed strong concern with sharing their location with other people or organizations. • Of those receiving a location-based advertisement, 46% took action and 80% considered the ads valuable.
