The Location Acquisition API

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

The documents in this section describe the Location Acquisition API and give examples of how to use it.

• Location Acquisition API Overview
  Applications use the Location Acquisition API to obtain location fixes from the LBS subsystem.
• Position data and info classes
  This document describes the basic and extended classes that hold position data.
• Position Area Data Classes
  This document describes the basic and extended position area data classes that contain information about the accuracy of the position returned to an application when it calls RPositioner::GetLastKnownPositionArea().
• Position data
  This document describes the basic and extended classes that hold position data.
• Privacy Requester Classes
  This document describes the classes that were used in earlier versions of the Symbian platform to identify the requester of location information to the LBS subsystem.
• Positioning Modules
  This document describes the classes that give information about Positioning Modules.
• Positioning Module Status
  This document describes positioning technology module status, which applications access through the Location Acquisition API.
• How to Get Location Information
  This document demonstrates how a client application uses the Location Acquisition API to get a position.
• How to Use Positioning Module Information
  This document describes how a client application uses the API to get information about the available Positioning Modules.
• How to get module status changes
  This document demonstrates how a client application uses the API to get device status and quality status events from positioning modules.
• Location Acquisition API Runtime Behaviour
  This document describes some differences in runtime behaviour that application clients may observe depending on the Symbian platform on which they are running.
• Location Acquisition API Reference
  This document lists the main classes of the Location Acquisition API with links to reference documentation.
