An apparatus and method for providing location-based information are provided. The apparatus includes: an input unit, which receives information on a first location and information on a second location from a user; a decoding unit (410), which decodes the location-based service data contained in the broadcast signals; a control unit (430), which selects location-based service data regarding a region between the first and second locations from among the location-based service data decoded by the decoding unit; and a display unit (460), which displays the selected location-based service data. The apparatus can receive broadcast signals containing location-based service data and can provide location-based information to a user without the aid of a global positioning system (GPS) receiver, a map generator, or a storage medium in which map data is stored. |
