Blackberry widget that does reverse geocoding to a street address?


Can anyone kindly show an example or two so that I can have some clarity. I need to have an application developed that can get current GPS location and reverse geocode the address. I have googled this and have not been able to come up with a solution.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

  • I did a search for 'blackberry location geocoding' and the first link was for BlackBerry documentation: Geocoding and reverse geocoding

    The net.rim.device.api.lbs.Locator API provides the geocoding methods that can allow you to request geospatial coordinates for a street address. It also provides the reverse geocoding methods that can allow you to request a street address for a geospatial coordinate.

    RIM even provides a guide for doing reverse geocoding:
    Retrieve an address by using reverse geocoding
