Abstract
This chapter deals with the possibilities of using Location Based Services (LBS) in different kinds of sports. The use of LBS enables movements to be tracked easily and objectively. This advancement in technology literally brings new dimensions to popular outdoor and indoor sporting activities. In the following we describe how these new ways of positioning have affected the sports of soccer, orienteering, rally, ballooning and sailing.
