Example: Creating a location-aware city guide with in-app purchase support

This example MIDlet shows you how to create a location-aware city guide that lists the most notable tourist attractions nearby and shows detailed information about them. The user can browse tourist attractions, read about them, and view them on a map. The MIDlet uses the Location API to determine the user's current location and the Nokia Maps API to implement the map functionality. The MIDlet also uses the In-App Purchase API to implement a Nokia Store purchasing feature with non-DRM-protected content stored on a back-end server.

This example demonstrates how to:

• Display a map using the Nokia Maps API

• Display the user's current location on the map

• Implement an in-app purchase feature

• Retrieve purchased content from a back-end server

• Implement scrollable views using the Gesture API and Frame Animator API
