  Ovi Maps and event handling with Java ME Location API 

  Today I’d like to present an article that closes the first part of tutorials about the Ovi Maps Java ME Location API.

  

  When displaying a map in a Java ME application, it can be useful to be able to intercept events generated by the interaction of the user with the map itself, and the MapComponent and EventListener interfaces give complete support for keyboard and touch-based events.

  Check out the full article, showing how touch events can be used to add markers to a map, and let me know your comments: Handling map events with Java ME Location API.

  Creating custom map providers with Ovi Maps Java ME Location API 

  Today’s Ovi Maps article describes how to create and use custom map providers by using the Java ME Location API.

  

  The MapProvider and MapUrlProvider abstract classes are used to provide the data needed to display custom map tiles, that can be used to replace the default map tiles, or displayed above those one, so creating overlay map levels.

  When using the MapUrlProvider class, the only needed information that the class must provide is the URL of each tile, that will be used by the class itself to retrieve and create the associated Image object.

  The article published on the Nokia Developer Wiki, with both client and server code, shows a possible usage of the MapUrlProvider class to create an overlay level over a map: Implementing a custom MapUrlProvider overlay with Java ME Location API.

  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.

    Hi Som,

    I’ve not yet tried the Ovi Maps API on non-Nokia phones, will check and get back with some info asap.

    As for the step descriptions, this should help: http://www.jappit.com/j2me/locationapi/com/nokia/maps/routing/Maneuver.html#getInstruction%28%29

  Adding Ovi Maps to a standard Java ME Form with Location API 

  Today I’d like to present another recently published article about the Ovi Maps Java ME Location API.

  

  While the previous two articles focused on the MapCanvas object, showing how it can be used to show a map on a classical LCDUI Canvas screen, today’s article shows how to build a custom map Form Item, extending the CustomItem class, so allowing to show and interact with a map on a classical LCDUI Form screen.

  The article, with complete source code and downloadable MIDlet, is available here: Creating a custom Map Item with Java ME Location API.

  Java ME and Ovi Maps: geocoding an address with the Location API 

  The Java ME Location API allows to easily integrate Ovi Maps in a Java ME application, with just few lines of code, together with a set of ready-to-use features as geocoding and reverse geocoding, routing, positioning and more.

  

  I’ve recently started to publish a set of articles on Nokia Developer Wiki that show the various features of the API in action. You can read the first one here: Geocoding an address with Java ME Location API.

  Check it out and let me know your comments.
