The purpose of the MIDP: Location API Example - Tourist Route MIDlet, available for download at Forum Nokia, and described in this tutorial is to demonstrate the main features of the Location API from a technical point of view. The MIDlet receives updated location information from a location provider (for example, GPS module). The information is displayed to users and they may attach address information to the position data on a specific editor. In practice, the MIDlet models a tourist's sight-seeing journey. However, the example MIDlet is not intended to be a real-world tourist guide. If you are not interested in the MIDlet's user interface, you might want to skip the next section and continue reading from section Implementation of the example.
Note: The example application does not work in Series 40.
