I see where my confusion comes from now. "LBS" is what bb calls "Maps" on the bb itself. It's the program name internally.

I was thinking of it as a service that ran with Maps, where you could find hotels/gas/food/etc near your actual location (location based services). Kind of what google maps will do for you but with GPS enabled. My bad.

Oh well, maybe they bigger plans for it over time. It still tells me where I am on a map, and for the price of a GPS puck (which I need for other uses), that's worth it.
