Based on the BlackBerry knowledge center article, How To - Invoke BlackBerry Maps, I tried to use maps in BlackBerry.
However, it is not efficient and throws unknown exception.
so i need another way to deal with maps in blackberry.
the exception only happen on simulator .
i tested it on real device the exception doesn't happen.
but i can't see the map
like this
so what is the problem ?

For a little project I´m trying to simulate locations on my iPhone/iPad with the existing Maps - App. With XCode on Mac, you can simulate locations with the help of a GPX-file. But is this also possible without Xcode? Can the GPX-file be saved on the iPhone and then started from there? A second option would be to create a new map using MapKit. But I actually want to use the internal Maps app.
Many Thanks!
No, unfortunatelly this is not possible. There is no way how you can save GPX-file at real device without Xcode simulator at this point.
I'm using Powerapps to link different O365 features together per meeting to help aggregate notes. I'd like to put an iPad in the conference room and be able to display different drawings and meeting notes on the TV screen. I can make the app, but is there any way I can have the ability to add a "Cast" button to cast the app to the TV screen?
Thanks!
(Here's a concept of what I'm looking for)
I don't think this is possible. A potential work around for you might be:
Install Chrome on the iPad
Setup Chromecast
Open the browser version of your app in Chrome
Then cast from the browser
The experience won't be the same as the app version, but it just might work.
Is there a way to detect what platform the app is running on with Javascript in trigger.io? It looks like in the olden days there was an is.android and is.ios method that have since disappeared. We have some different behaviors we want to apply to the different browsers.
Yes, the forge.is namespace allows you to detect the platform using JavaScript.
To detect if the app is running on an Android device call forge.is.android()
To detect if the app is running on an iOS device call forge.is.ios()
See the Platform Detection docs for more information.
depending on your needs there are a few answers.
The isAndroid or isIOS can work for detecting simply the device but will not give you the version number, somtimes you need to detect versions of IOS or android.
To do that you should use the platform module

Hi I am an iOS developer and was assigned on developing travel guide apps which uses offline maps in the app. I have successfully developed apps and used a map library called route-me. At first it was okay but the problem occurred when we tried to develop apps for bigger cities/places. The app size is very large because of the map.sqlite file.
I would like to ask for some advise on what library to use instead of route-me to lessen the size of the app. I've heard of using vector based maps but haven't really found one to play around.
P.S.
Our app needs to be totally offline.
Thanks!
i am creating simple application for showing Blackberry map in Blackberry.
i was unable to open BB Map through my app.
so that i try to open inbuilt Map App that is showing following image
i check my MSD setting and my internet is working perfect and i can browse from BB Browser
i am using 9530-Verizon-4.7.0.75
what could be problem??? How can i start BB Map in my Simulator??
The problem has to do with rendering issue in simulator. I've been through this when developing a map based app. Map would not render and would show green field.
This is the official response I got from RIM when contacted with the issue:
Simulator - Blackberry Maps Green Background Issue
Resolution: Advised customer that BlackBerry Maps functionality has
been inconsistent on device simulators. The best method of conducting
this testing would be to test on a physical device.
After trying all possible solutions, I gave up. Note that the issue doesn't occur on all systems. If you have access to any other system, try on it. May be you get lucky.
On the simulator phone go into the wifi settings and select a network to connect to. After that you should be able to use the web browser and map applications without problem.
