S60 Platform: Location Example
This C++ code example implements a practical use case of location-based services. The example demonstrates a use case of requesting the global positioning system (GPS) location of another device via short message service (SMS) and displaying the distance to the device as well as its location. The updated example has been tested to support S60 5th Edition and touch UI. A self-signed version can be installed on S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 and newer devices.
