This increase coincides with a rise in smart phone ownership overall (from 35 percent of adults in 2011 to 46 percent  in 2012, which means that the overall proportion of U.S. adults who get location-based information has almost doubled over that time period, from 23 percent  in May 2011 to 41 percent  in February 2012, Pew says.
