Determining the device location in Java ME with the Ovi Maps Location API
Among the many features offered by the Ovi Maps Java ME Location API (as geocoding, routing and the ability to integrate with LCDUI screens), one of the most useful is surely the PositioningManager.
PositioningManager, together with the PositionListener interface, allow to get asynchronous and periodical updates about the user’s position, and so allowing to build location-based services in a simple and effective way.
The new article published on Nokia Developer Wiki explores the main features of PositioningManager, and shows how to build a simple service that detect and draw the user’s movements on Ovi Maps: Using the PositioningManager from Java ME Location API.
