Abstract
The Java Location API for J2METM integrates generic positioning and orientation data with
persistent storage of landmark objects. It can be used to develop location based service
applications for small mobile devices, and these applications can be tested using simulation
environments. Currently the only simulation tools in the public domain are proprietary
mobile device simulators that are driven by GPS data log files, but it is sometimes useful to
be able to test location based services using interactive map-based tools. In addition, we
may need to experiment with extensions and changes to the standard API to support
additional services, requiring an open source environment. In this paper we describe the
implementation of an open source map-based simulation tool compatible with other
commonly used development and deployment tools.
