Abstract
A lot of research projects deal with location-based services and also telephone providers services. Some services fail to become an economic success. In this paper we investigate possible pitfalls for location-based services. The categories of pitfalls are technical possibilities, legal restrictions, and usability. Using two example services we show how to determine the possible pitfalls.
