Tourist Attractions is a Nokia Developer example app written in Java for Series 40 phones. It demonstrates the use of the Location API for Java ME (JSR-179) and the HERE Maps API for Java ME (formerly the Nokia Maps API) to retrieve and show location information as well as details of nearby attractions. In addition, it incorporates the In-App Purchase API to enable the purchase and download of additional city guides.
This application works on most Series 40 phones, ranging from entry-level models to the highly successful Asha family of smartphones.
