Displaying location information in your application
A BlackBerry® device application can use the
MapField
class to display a map in a UI field. For a BlackBerry device application
to use the
MapField
class, BlackBerry® Maps must be installed on the BlackBerry device and the BlackBerry device must be
able to download data from the map server for location-based services.
A
MapField
gets data either from a map server for location-based services or the BlackBerry device with BlackBerry Maps
installed. If location information is not present on the BlackBerry device, the
MapField
requests data from the map server.
See the API reference for the BlackBerry Java Development Environment for more information about the
MapField
API.
