  Partner CornerFrom Autodesk . . .The Autodesk LocationLogic platform, along with NAVTEQ® content, provides Java developers with a well-designed Java ME SDK. This LBS-focused SDK enables developers to add location-based services to new or existing applications. This article describes the Autodesk LocationLogic Java ME SDK and summarizes its API. ...>>   Tech SoupUnderstanding Administrative Areas and ZonesTo uniquely locate an address in a digital map database, we need to understand the concepts of administrative areas and zones and their relationship, as they are the foundation for resolving an address. Though we will focus mainly on U.S. map data in this article, the basic concepts can be applied to the NAVTEQ map data of other countries.>>  NN4D EventsAugust 8, 2007NAVTEQ Discover Cities - NA August 9, 2007NAVTEQ Discover Citites - EU August 16, 2007NN4D Orientation August 30, 2007Best Practices in RDF Extraction September 5-6, 2007China Location Based Services Summit September 6, 2007NN4D Orientation September 18, 2007Geocoding and Reverse Geocoding 101 September 20, 2007NN4D Orientation October 4-5, 2007NAVTEQ Connections - EU October 22, 2007NAVTEQ Connections - NA November 12-15, 2007GSMA Mobile Asia Congress | ||||
NN4D NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge® Extends into Asia-Pacific Region for 2008Interest in location-based services in Asia continues to surge as map coverage expands throughout the region. NAVTEQ already has map coverage in countries such as Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. Fueling the growing interest of LBS in Asia is the vast number of wireless developers in the region. According to an Evans Data Corporation study in the fall of 2006, nearly 40% of the wireless developers in the world reside in the APAC region. "The rapid expansion of map coverage in the Asia-Pacific region combined with the wealth of developers located in that region makes the regional addition of Asia-Pacific as a track in our competition a natural extension," said Marc Naddell, Vice President, Partner & Developer Programs, NAVTEQ. "Now, the NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge allows the most talented developers from the Asia-Pacific region to participate directly, and benefit from the learning, exposure and rewards embedded in this global campaign."

It defines a J2ME optional package that enables developers to write mobile location-based applications for resource-limited devices. The API, at a minimum, works on the J2ME Connected, Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) v1.1. It is designed to provide a compact and generic API that produces information about the device's present physical location to Java applications. This developer guide intends to provide the user with a comprehensive overview of the JSR including sample code. Click here to download. Developing for Pedestrians?
