The '''Location API''', is a specification defining an optional [[Application programming interface|API]] package for communicating with [[GPS]] devices using the [[Java programming language|Java]]. It extends the capabilities of the [[Java Platform, Micro Edition]], a version of the [[Java platform]] tailored for [[embedded device]]s such as [[mobile phone]]s and [[Personal digital assistant|PDA]]s. The [[Object-oriented programming|object-oriented]] interface consists of 13 [[Class (computer science)|classes]] in the javax.microedition.___location package. The Location API was developed under the [[Java Community Process]] as JSR 179 released September 2003 and updated to version 1.0.1 March 2006. [[Nokia]] is the main author and maintainer of this JSR. OpenLAPI is a [[GPL]] implementation, for use in emulator environments where the Nokia reference implementation does not exist.
