<p><xref href="GUID-BC8D1F02-3FBB-406A-80CE-5836E61EBD82.dita">Location information</xref> may
be stored as database entries called <i>landmarks</i> that contain at least
a name and a location.</p>
<p>Typical use cases include:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Sending location information that is stored according to
the World Geodetic System (WGS 84) to another device.</p></li>
<li><p>Finding sites within a set distance of a stored point.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<note>
<p>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. <draft-comment time="2009-04-21T13:48">Does this also apply to S60 5th Edition?</draft-comment></p>
