Hi Arul,

I’m trying to create an application for an ambulance company that will show the dispatcher the location of units based on thier GPS enabled phones.

It sort of soulds like you are doing something like this…

Would you mind sending me your email so I can bounce some ideas off you?

You can reach me at gregg.drennan@gmail.com

Thanks,

Gregg

Hi,

We have a WAP site for mobiles, where we have the search features for yellow page listings (i.e., Business name, Address, Phone number, Description, etc). Now, we planning to establish the location based services (LBS) using GPS.

For example, assume that I am a traveler, visiting Bangalore-India for the first time and standing Trinity Circle (MG Road, Bangalore), using my mobile if I search for list of Pizza corners nearby my location, then the system should respond with the list of Pizza shops nearby my location (and with sort by distance).

Please advice my how I need to achieve this task, and currently am using JSP/ASP for my WAP site. Also advice me how to execute the above code

Best regards,
Arul

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Blackberry GPS/Location API, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

So… here’s my $0.02. This is the essential piece of any gps-driven software. If I could enter destinations, waypoints, etc. easily then I would have the underpinnings of a geocaching program.

Hi thanks for this great code. I am using Netbeans and this works in the emulator. But when I run it on the Blackberry 8800, I get NoClassDefFoundError. I figured that I have to include lapi.jar so I found it on the Nokia site but when I include that in the project I get the LocationException that there are no location providers. It also doesnâ€™t ask for the permissions. Do you include the lapi.jar? How do you make it ask for the permissions?

Thanks!
Josh
