Is there an android equivalent for S60 platform's LandmarkStore

Question

S60 platform's Java environment has a LandmarkStore class which saves Landmarks. A Landmark is just an object that gives a name to a location. Similar to a waypoint in GPS devices. Basic idea in S60 platform is that LandmarkStore is accessible to every application on the device. For instance, I can create a new Landmark on one Java application and this new landmark can be used in all Java applications on this device.

Is there a similar common-to-all-applications location store in Android platform? Or do I just have to ask the user to give coordinates of Home, Office and Pablo's pub when installing my location aware application?

Am I totally lost, or shouldn't the Intent system be able to provide locations for my application?
