- net.rim.blackberry.api.invoke.MapsArguments

Create a String that contains location information for one location.

String document = "<lbs><location x='-8052237' y='4346518' label='Waterloo, ON' description='Waterloo' zoom='10'/></lbs>";

Invoke invokeApplication() using the APP_TYPE_MAPS constant parameter, a new MapsArguments object that uses the ARG_LOCATION_DOCUMENT property, and the location String.

Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_MAPS, new MapsArguments(MapsArguments.ARG_LOCATION_DOCUMENT, document));
