I want to create a map field into my blackberry app using java eclipse, I create a map field and RichMapField and both shows blank page.
Note that my device does not contains a sim card, please can anyone helps me
As far as I can tell, BB maps requires BIS to be enabled. And since you don't have a sim in your device, I'd rate thats the problem.
Do I need to have a BIS or BES service in order to use MapField in the code?
I find this to be really silly and kind of unacceptable, so depending on your requirements, I'd consider Google Maps instead.
Use Google Map in Blackberry application
Bing Maps SDK For Blackberry 6.0 (Accepted answer is an example of using Google Maps installed on the device)

Is it possible to display map of only one country (for example map of only
Peru ) on a MapView in IOS .I don't want to display the entire world map.I have done enough POC on the concept and reached a conclusion that its not possible on google maps IOS SDK .
Below are the links i refered and felt are relevant but didnt give the result what i wanted

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3221584/is-there-a-way-to-display-a-single-country-in-google-map-it-should-be-only-one
Is there any map SDK's available for achieving this in IOS or any other mobile platforms ?
Looks like this question hasn't been asked in a while...
Any way to get streetview from the Google Maps SDK for iOS?
I have a client who is specifically interested in the Google Maps Streetview feature for his app, but, like most clients, he really doesn't want the feature to require going outside of the app. (This is where Android is one up on iOS, with their omnipresent back button. Sigh.)
The need for streetview is driven by a clear benefit in this app to being able to see actual images of buildings, lots, etc. as opposed to the 3D satellite imagery in Apple Maps, which is cool but not well suited for this app's purposes, as the buildings, lots, etc. are distorted.
I combed through the documentation for the iOS Google Maps SDK, looking for a way to get streetview.
I also downloaded the SDK and ran through the demos.
No dice on either account.
I see that I can get to a streetview image using Google Street View Image API, which is better than nothing:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/streetview/
Here is a sample call from the documentation:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview?size=400x400&location=40.720032,%20-73.988354&fov=90&heading=235&pitch=10&sensor=false
But building something into the app to let the user modify things like the size (via zoom), heading, pitch, etc. sure feels like I would be "reinventing the wheel" and is something that would be available in an SDK...
Thanks!

Google Maps iOS SDK 1.4 (released a few hours ago) has this feature:
Street View in iOS SDK
The best option currently available for accessing streetview from google maps ios sdk seems to be using the Google Maps URL scheme which will call the official google maps app for iphone based on the values provided by the user from the custom maps app(using ios sdk). The input values that can be used with the url scheme include:
1, mapmode : here streetview option can be chosen to show the map in streetview mode
2, center : center latitude,longitude point for the map to be displayed
3, zoom
4, views
I am planning to develop a blackberry application which primarily uses map. Its an India centric application. After some googling I came to know there where no maps support for blackberry for India as of now.
I planned to use Google map API Static and Mobile Maps. As of now I'm loading the maps in browser field. Sometimes the google maps can't plot the direction for the given two co ordinates. I am not able to handle the response.
I like to know whether there are any other option to display maps in India. To show direction from one place to another place. I am getting necessary details from google Maps and Places API.
There are some countries which blackberry can't show in its maps. You can use google maps instead. If you want it then go to web browser of device and type: m.google.com/maps and download and install it.
Then search code for accessing them. I have done it myself
I have heard rumors that the use of a MapField or MapView in a BlackBerry app typically presents a problem because carriers such as AT&T and Verizon in the US have locked down the devices so as to not make those API's available or usable. I have three questions:
1) I am new to BlackBerry development. What's the difference between MapField and MapView and their respective availabilities? Are they related or different?
2) Are there actual known carrier restrictions that prevent / prohibit the use of MapField and/or MapView?
3) If there are known carrier issues, what are the best alternatives? So far I've found the following options: a) use of a Browser.Field with Google Static Maps (good suggestions from these StackOverflow questions: How to use Google Map in BlackBerry application? and BlackBerry and map based apps like Yelp and Google Map); b) license the Nutiteq map API library. Any other viable options I might be missing out on?
Thanks for your time in helping out a BlackBerry newbie.
I am developing an application, which should be able to access Google Maps and it's API set on Blackberry platform?
I want to programmatically,
1. search for current location information
2. Places information like famous places, malls, restaurants and other details etc.
using Google Map API's.
How do i access Google Map API's to achieve this in Blackberry platform? If not possible,
How do i achieve this in Blackberry platform in any other way?
From which version of Blackberry(SDK and Device version), these things will be possible to implement?
I googled it, and found some links related this like below, those doesn't helped me.
