Image forming apparatus capable of providing location-based service and location information measuring apparatus for providing location information

A location information measuring apparatus for providing location information to an image forming apparatus capable of providing a location-based service, the location information measuring apparatus comprising:

• a memory to store the location information of the image forming apparatus;
• a location information measurer to measure location information of the location information measuring apparatus based on a distance from another apparatus outside the location information measuring apparatus;
• a controller to determine whether to update the location information of the image forming apparatus based on the location information of the image forming apparatus and the measured location information;
• and
• a communicator to transmit the measured location information to the image forming apparatus according to a result of the update determination.
