Here's another forking path to follow in pursuit of an interoperable
geoweb.

"
Nokia has submitted JSR-293, Location API 2.0 to the Java Community
Process (JCP). http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=293
According to the JSR,
...
-
- Add the ability to import and export
landmarks with JavaTM
application. JSR 179 only provides a mechanism to add and modify
landmarks on the device, but with this addition, the landmarks and
points of interest can be shared for example between two devices.
- Clarify and extend the localization support
for the landmarks
- Specify a set of abstract landmark UI
components for adding, editing
and selecting landmarks. These components will be independent of the
device manufacturer and will allow the user to have similar user
experience on landmark handling across different devices and API
implementations.
- Support for geocoding
Geocoding means assigning location coordinates
for a landmark based on
the given address. In reverse geocoding the address of a landmark is
retrieved based on the given location coordinates. This API will have
support for both of these geocoding features.
- Map support
This feature will allow the use of maps in
JavaTM
applications. With this map support the applications are able to
display maps and show landmarks and points of interest on these maps.
- Navigation support
Navigation support will enable the navigation
to landmarks and points of interest from JavaTM
application. With this feature the applications will be able to access
the navigation features provided by 3rd party applications.
Some of these new extensions might be optional and
not required from
devices implementing only the basic positioning functions. "
