Have you ever shared a location in WhatsApp? That list of close-by places comes from a geocoding service. When you request a car service, like Didi, the route that the drivers take comes from a routing service. Have you ordered a pizza in Seamless? The maps that show you where the restaurant is located is a basemap service. We call all those services Location Data Services and you are using them all the time.
