First of all, it's important to understand that this code, as written,
doesn't even use PhoneGap.

The BlackBerry 6 browser has its own implementation of
navigator.geolocation. Even if you include phonegap.js, it won't
stomp on BB's implementation. See this link for a more detailed
explanation of geolocation options on BlackBerry:

http://wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/32351128/Geolocation,-PhoneGap-and-BlackBerry-WebWorks

If you decide to override the BB implementation and use PhoneGap's
implementation instead, you'll have to include json2.js as well.

I haven't tried your code yet. At which point is it failing?

map_canvas is spelled map_canvass in the js. could be a problem.

Hey Justing ..

thnf for the help..

i have added json2.js java script file to use the phonegap's geolocation api.and then i have run the my application. but still my application was exiting non gracefully saying JVM 104 error uncaught null pointerexception

i have did some debuging and found that google.maps.LatLng(latitude,longitude) function was using data from maps.gstatic.com so i have added that in access and also after that i was not able to load the image and Google was using map.googleapis.com domain for that so i have added that also in my config.xml file

now i am able to load proper Google map on my simulator though when it starts loading the map it throws some uncaught null pointer exception error but if i click continue for thee to 5 time then it loads the map and then i can change the map type from terrain , setelite ..etc , i can zoom in and out the map ..(some times it throws uncaught nullpointer exception and i select continue and good to go) but only thing that i am not able to do move(drag) the map and even i am not able to select the map map area , it is not click-able at all.

so

is there any other access <element> that i need to add in config xml because this null porinter exception is thrown only because of some access issues ? or any other walk through to make my map movable (drag-able) ? any kind of help is appreciated

FYI :i am loading map into div tag

regards,

CracKel
