Description:

The primary use case is a location tracker that stores tracks in KML (cfr. Google Earth/Maps), CSV or plain text format.

Package com.sony.csl.j2me.locationapitools.demo contains a MIDlet class that demonstrates how LocationAPITools can be used to create simple GPS tracker application that produces KML files. For examples of more advanced uses of this library refer to the NoiseTube project (see below, look for NoiseTube MobileNoiseTagger).

The code is known to be working on the following Symbian OS-based platforms:

• S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 (Symbian OS 9.2), e.g.: Nokia N95 and Nokia N95 8GB smartphones
• S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 (Symbian OS 9.3)

This library was developed within the scope of the NoiseTube project at Sony Computer Science Laboratory (CSL) Paris, for more information please refer to:
