Satellite map in Nokia Maps API

[Mobili]

Hi,

I am using the new Nokia Maps API for Java ME v0.5 to write a Midlet that shows Nokia Maps.

Now I want to set the map mode to satellite or terrain but I can't find a function in the API to do that.
Does anybody know how to do that?

Thanks.

Thanks, now I understand how it works.

The way they implemented it, is a bit uncomfortable in some cases. If I just want to switch to satellite mode in the code I have to find the proper MapProvider in the array of base maps. The only information I have from the MapProvider is its name. So it ends in searching for "satellite" in the name of the MapProvider... thats ugly.
