Landmarks can be stored for later use to a specific database called landmark store. All landmark stores are shared between all MIDlets. Landmarks in the stores have a name identifier and may be placed into one or more categories. Grouping landmarks to categories makes it easier to find landmarks from the store, because especially in urban areas many different types of landmarks may be located close to each other. Devices contain one default landmark store. In addition, it may be allowed to create new landmark stores. The Location API enables applications to add new categories and remove existing ones within landmark stores.
