You can create a BlackBerry® device application to convert latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates to pixel values. You can then move a map by invoking the MapField.move() method using the pixel values as parameters. For latitude, north is a positive value and south is a negative value. For longitude, east is a positive value and west is a negative value.

The Coordinates class represents coordinates as latitudinal, longitudinal, and altitudinal values. The latitudinal and longitudinal values are expressed in degrees using floating-point numbers. Altitudinal values represent the height of a location above the WGS 84 ellipsoid, in meters. The Coordinates class provides coordinates using WGS 84 data.
