Ovi Maps API
kevinSharp | 23 December, 2010 19:59
Ovi Maps API is a straightforward Location Based API, featuring object-oriented paradigms in a Java Script environment. It consists of multiple modules which can ship separately or in any possible combination. Available modules include Map Rendering, Search, and Routing.
The Ovi Maps API is optimised for use in desktop browsers and assumes typical desktop connectivity; for mobile uses see the related Ovi Maps Rendering API.
Use of Ovi Maps API is simple. Once the Ovi Maps API JavaScript library is included in an HTML page, only a few lines of code are needed to have Ovi Maps running.
Include the Ovi Maps API JavaScript library:
<head>
...
<script src="http://api.maps.ovi.com/jsl.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
</script>
...
</head>
... and then display a basic map with defined zoom level and centre coordinates. The map will be placed inside the 'map' DIV element:
<div id="map" style="width:600px; height:400px;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var map = new ovi.mapsapi.map.Display(document.getElementById("map"), {
'zoomLevel': 10, //zoom level for the map
'center': [52.51, 13.4] // center coordinates
});
</script>
The API is designed with a decoupled UI, meaning that all of the front end is attach- and detachable, including even basic features like dragging and clicking.
An observer design pattern makes tracking state changes easy. The concept is straightforward: the observer is a function which is set by the addObserver function for either a specific key (OObject class) or a specific action (OList class). If the related value changes or the related action is triggered, the given observer function is triggered.
Check out the full details, documentation, examples, and the Ovi Maps Playground environment.

@ makemymart
Exactly what are you talking about? Sorry but I fail to see how your question is supposed to be related to this article or Ovi Maps API. The link you provided did not make things any clearer. How do you even expect that Nokia guys or anyone else could answer you when what you tell is as vague as that. And wouldn't developer forums better place to sk questions like that anyway?
