Storing -location information on a mobile device

Location information may -be stored as database entries called landmarks that contain at least -a name and a location.

Typical use cases include:

Sending location information that is stored according to -the World Geodetic System (WGS 84) to another device.
Finding sites within a set distance of a stored point.
-

- -

The SDK does not include a map API, and therefore you must use a third -party API to display the location information you receive on a map. Does this also apply to S60 5th Edition?

- -

Saving location -information on a mobile device -

To store location information on your mobile device:

Make use of -the methods of the Landmarks -API when -constructing your application.
-
-
The CPosLandmarkDatabase class is used for accessing the database with the landmarks -information and the CPosLandmark class -contains the location information.
-
For detailed information on how to do this, see:
-
- Using landmarks database for a discussion of how to -start accessing the database with the location information, including a structure -diagram.
- Managing landmarks for code samples of opening, editing, and adding -location information to a database
- Listening to database events for possible events type passed to -your application and code samples for implementing a listener
  - -
  The TPosLmEvent class -is used in listening for events.
  - -
-
-
Make sure eposlandmarks.lib is -accessible to your linker when compiling your application by including it -in your .mmp file or by editing the project properties in your IDE, depending -on your build environment.
Make sure -you have the correct capabilities information set for your application, depending -on your application you may need LocalServices, NetworkServices, ReadDeviceData, ReadUserData, WriteDeviceData, and WriteUserData.
