Far from accurate LBS

One of the services that I always look forward to in terms of using with my mobile phone is the location based services. This is supposed to allow you to check out another buddy's location via SMS.

I decided to give the service a try last week via ANTS' (http://www.ants.ph) WIS service. Although the service never promised accuracy, I find the results very bad as well. I was at SM SuperSale Club in SM North EDSA when I tried the service after finishing our grocery shopping. I checked out my hubby's location who was with me at that time and the result showed that he's near McDonald's Congressional Ave. Quezon City area.

My hubby immediately said that such service can only cause confusion to the parties who are using it. No wonder LBS never really took off. I hope a far more accurate service shall be available soon.
