DETECT if BlackBerry Maps is installed
Hello world:
I extend the MapField class in my application and I need to detect if BlackBerry Maps is installed on the device. I was under the impression that it was distributed with OS4.5 or newer. However, it seems that some network providers that withdrawing from the device. Accordingly, I have users to get a "Eception exception: LBS map API is not installed ' when installing the OTA.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try this:
CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandle ("net_rim_bb_lbs")
If the return is< 1,="" then="" it="" is="" not="">

Not installed on the bold 9780 blackBerry Smartphones blackberry maps
Hello
I have a Blackberry Bold 9780, OS 6.0.0.359, and I don't have blackberry maps on my phone. I bought it on amazon and the description says that the cards would be included.
Can you tell me where to find blackberry maps?
Thank you
Try to go to: Options-> device-> application management
See if his list here. If it is, then its possible that you don't have a data plan put in place for your Blackberry, or as in my case, some service books when out of my account with my ISP.

Reg; Invoking in blackberry maps
Hello
In my application I want to call cards, for that I have use mapview and everything is fine.but unfortunately I heard that blackberry maps is supported only in some countries...
in my application, I want to show the County such as the India, Afghanistan etc... those who are not supported by blackberry maps...
so please someone suggest me how can I get these countries also if I select it in of my very urgent application.it to me pls give answer me as soon as possible...
I use jde 4.7 for my application...
Here is the sample code snippet that works very well for me.
Using this code, you can display unique location on the map.
class GoogleSingleLocation_Scr extends MainScreen { public GoogleSingleLocation_Scr() { } protected void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance) { super.makeMenu(menu, instance); menu.add(mInvokeGMaps); } MenuItem mInvokeGMaps = new MenuItem("Run GMaps", 0, 0) { public void run() { GMLocation location = new GMLocation(51.507778, -0.128056, "London"); invokeGMaps(location); }; }; public void invokeGMaps(GMLocation l) { int mh = CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandle("GoogleMaps"); if (mh == 0) { try { throw new ApplicationManagerException( "GoogleMaps isn't installed"); } catch (ApplicationManagerException e) { System.out.println(e.getMessage()); } } URLEncodedPostData uepd = new URLEncodedPostData(null, false); uepd.append("action", "LOCN"); uepd.append("a", "@latlon:" + l.getLatitude() + "," + l.getLongitude()); uepd.append("title", l.getName()); uepd.append("description", l.getDescription()); String[] args = { "http://gmm/x?" + uepd.toString() }; ApplicationDescriptor ad = CodeModuleManager .getApplicationDescriptors(mh)[0]; ApplicationDescriptor ad2 = new ApplicationDescriptor(ad, args); try { ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager() .runApplication(ad2, true); } catch (ApplicationManagerException e) { System.out.println(e.getMessage()); } } }
Suppose if you display several location on google maps, you need to prepare a KML file and make it available on the public server what google map can be accessed
Some links to URLS that might be useful for you.

BlackBerry Maps - unable to calculate route
Hello
I have an application which, at the click of the button, called the Blackberry maps with a rental document to get directions using latitude and longitude, here is the example it does
Location myLocation = myLocationProvider.getLocation (120);
Latitude = myLocation.getQualifiedCoordinates () .getLatitude ();
Longitude = myLocation.getQualifiedCoordinates () .getLongitude ();int iLatitude = (int)(latitude*100000);
int iLongitude = (int)(longitude*100000);
Log.info ("latitude:" + iLatitude);
Log.info ("longitude:" + iLongitude);String document = "
" ;"+ "
""+
""+
"
String document1 = " ";"+ "
// ""+
// ""+
// "Log.info ("document:" + document);
Invoke.invokeApplication (Invoke.APP_TYPE_MAPS, new MapsArguments
(MapsArguments.ARG_LOCATION_DOCUMENT, document) ;This code example gives me "unable to calculate the route. But when I use the string document1 (provided in Blackberry maps reference), it works fine. The iLatitude and the ilongitude come to simulate location GPS optionally simulate in the Simulator. I use BB JDE 5.0.0 and Blackberry 9700 Simulator.
Below the log where you can see the values of iLatitude and iLongitude and localization of debugging is created:
There an IllegalArgumentException, which I think is the problem because it does not come when I use the other location document1.

Hello
My problem solved. The thing was to test my application, I used values of Latitude and longitude of a card (on the internet) and the values that I picked up were probably not really accurate, reason for which he was not able to calculate the route. Then my web service has begun to send me good lat and long values based on geolocation, it started working. There is nothing wrong with my code, it was test values I was providing were not as accurate as they should have been.
Thank you

BB of Smartphones blackBerry maps for Torch 9860
Hello
I just got a BB Torch 9860 and tries to download maps of BB with no luck at all. I received the following message:
«Sorry, your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support BlackBerry map»
The only requirement that I see on the website is "* BlackBerry Maps is available on devices running the device software v4.1 and above.
I already installed the latest version of the software.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Yes, there should be a free BlackBerry Maps application. Did you accidentally delete it? Double check for you ensure that you are indeed missing it by pressing the search on the home screen button and simply type cards. There should be a green icon with a purple trail (this is how it appears on my Torch 9860).
If it is stil missing, so the best way to get will out perform the following operations. Click on the link I provided in my post above. Download the OS by selecting the 9860 Torch in the menu dropdown. Once you have downloaded the file from the OS, install it on your computer.
Then, on your computer, open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\Apploader (if your computer is a 32-bit computer, you won't see the (x 86) folder - just go for the regular Program Files folder).
Open the file named Loader.exe and connect your BlackBerry. Click Next, and then click Next again. The Application loader will now check your BlackBerry. Once this is done, you will be at a screen where you can select applications. Find the application called BlackBerry Maps, check the checkbox and continue by clicking next. This will add BlackBerry Maps on your phone.
So now, just to be safe, I recommend first backup your phone. Although it is not necessary, it is recommended, just in case something goes wrong.
Try and let us know if you have any problems.

Question 1: I v.4.6 on my "BOLD". The maps and the GPS works fine, but I wonder if it is powered internally by Google maps. Anyone know?
Question 2: The reason why I ask is because I want to try Google Latitude, which allows tracking of the location of a phone cell phone per person. He supposedly can show you the location of all of your friends on a map. Can I install Google Maps first or if it'll work with Blackberry Maps? If anyone has installed Google Latitude on their "BOLD" and care to share their experience? You can follow your "BOLD" of your PC if you have lost?
Question 1: Is now the answer. I installed this software "Latitude" and got "Google Maps" and "Latitude" as a menu option. Now, I have 2 mapping software on my "BOLD" taking up memory sparc resources. So, these two could not work together.
Question 2: To see the location of my "BOLD" of my desktop PC:

BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry maps and LBS
I tried to get cards Blackberry works but I couldn't see an icon. She showed as an application in advanced as BBmaps 4.7 key/applications, but I could never find the icon. I read a post that said to reinstall so I removed it. When I load Desktop Manager 5.0, I do not see an option to add BB maps so I dug further. I found a document on support to Blackberry who told to remove cards from BB I need to remove LBS, so I did this. Now when I goto application loader I don't see same LBS or Blackberry maps. When I click on browse I find not all loader files. I wonder how to get LBS and Blackberry Maps works. I have Google maps but the locations on this subject are disabled by a few streets and I'm interested if BB maps is better than that. Any help would be appreciated.
Well, I found the answer before someone could answer. I need to download and install the BB OS (in my case 4.7.1.77 for Bell). Then, I was able to reinstall Blackberry Maps, which is also LBS (I Believe). Now I have the compass icon that should have been there all along. I hope that this thread can help someone else.

Images of blackBerry Smartphones Email and Blackberry Maps
Hi, im a blackberry "BOLD" user to Singapore. Whenever I open my emails, images appear. When I tried to click on the options to get images, it still does not show.
Second part, I can't install blackberry maps on my phone as my phone version is a later version
I think that these two problems are related to the fact that your data plan "is a bit limited."
If your carrier offers the BlackBerry data plan, you will need to get things to work properly. Otherwise, I am surprised that you even get e-mails.

BlackBerry "BOLD", Blackberry Maps and AT &; T smartphones
I'm on AT & T and I have a "BOLD". When I FINALLY found the download for blackberry maps site it would download to my phone. D/l site maps said it was compatible with devices that are running the version 4.1 and 4.2.x and my "BOLD" version 4.6. Blackberry Maps will be always available for my version?
Thank you.
P.S. I downloaded Google maps, but only uses the Weatherbug Blackberry Maps app.
I guess the service customer call and ask would be little about as useful as asking my dogs of technical support. I managed to get the BB maps on the phone, but AT & T has done something to hide the icon so I am unable to run BB maps as a stand-alone application. WeatherBug and Poynt all consider two blackberry maps so I have now all features of both apps and I'll just have to use google maps for directions. In the AT & T forums, some people have reported finding BB maps just by changing themes. Who has not worked for me.
I downloaded the new software for the "BOLD" here. https://www.BlackBerry.com/downloads...E4F82F9F00E7D4
I installed the new software taking care to check the box to install BB maps.
BB maps icon is non-existent but the app is displayed in the list of applications and other applications are able to use BB maps.
If anyone has any input on how to make the visible icon, please report it here.
Thank you
