GPS location information
You can create a BlackBerry® device application that displays the current latitudinal and longitudinal position of a BlackBerry device. Depending on the mode that you use to obtain the location information that you specify, the BlackBerry device application can also display information such as the speed and route. To create a BlackBerry device application so that you can obtain location information, you can use the Location API for Java® ME in the javax.microedition.location package (JSR 179).
The time it takes to retrieve the location of the BlackBerry device for the first time depends on several factors such as the mode that you use to obtain location information and the GPS signal strength. In autonomous mode, typical retrieval times are less than 2 minutes. In assisted mode, typical retrieval times are less than 30 seconds.
To retrieve and display GPS location information, the BlackBerry device must support GPS technology and you must insert a valid SIM card in the BlackBerry device.
