Create a basic KML document
You can create a KML document in any text editor. The XML header and the KML namespace declaration are required and they must appear at the beginning of the document. You can mark a position on a map in BlackBerry Maps by using the <Placemark> element. The <Point> element specifies the longitude, latitude, and altitude of the location. Longitude ranges from -180 to +180, latitude ranges from -90 to +90. The altitude is optional and can be passed as 0. If you provide an altitude, the value must represent the altitude above sea level in meters.
