XYZMobo uses on average less than 1KB per look up request.  1KB is the smallest unit commonly used to measure data traffic.

How does XYZMobo know about my current position?
XYZMobo knows your current position by applying a process called geocoding. When you enter your current location, 'geocoding' translates it into a GPS like position of latitude and longitude.

Where does the local information come from?
This data comes from several sources:
1)Local businesses register and add themselves to the XYZMobo listings. Businesses can do this directly from their cell phone or from a computer.
2)XYZMobo spiders the web to find local information.
3)XYZMobo works with content owners such as foodpages and New York Restaurant Guide to bring you the most up to date information.
