Location Source is an implementation of Java's Location API (JSR-179).

Platform Support

• Windows Mobile using IBM's WebSphere Everyplace Micro Edition JVM 6.1.1 (a.k.a. WEME or J9)

Details

Today it only runs on Windows Mobile using IBM's WebSphere Everyplace Micro Edition JVM (a.k.a. WEME or J9). It uses the GPS Intermediate Driver to get location information from GPS built into the phone or paired Bluetooth GPS pucks.

Location Source can easily be extended to work with other JVMs. For example it could use the Loki API by SkyHook to work on laptops.

Getting Started
