The Location Acquisition API in LBS guide documents

Client applications use the Location Acquisition API to obtain the position of the mobile device from the LBS subsystem.

The documents listed below describe the Location Acquisition API and give examples of how to use it.

Location Acquisition API overview describes the main client-server classes of the API.

Position data and info classes describes the basic and extended classes that hold position data.

Position data describes how coordinates are represented in LBS.

How to get location information demonstrates how a client application uses the API to get a position.

Positioning technology modules describes the classes that give information about positioning modules.

How to use module information demonstrates how a client application uses the API to get information about the available positioning modules.

Positioning technology module status describes the classes that give information about the low level state of a positioning module.

How to get module status changes demonstrates how a client application uses the API to get device status and quality status events from positioning modules.

Positioning technology module selection criteria describes the classes that specify a module's capabilities and quality of position. An application uses selection criteria to select a positioning module to be used for location requests.

How to use module selection criteria demonstrates how a client application specifies module selection criteria to select a positioning module and specify the quality of position required for position updates.
