Appreciate the help from the forum, thanks x 10^6

I am not sure I understand what you are looking for. Hopefully the following will help you.
1. change your latitude and longitude to decimal values remembering that north of the equator and east of Greenwich are positive (+) and south and west are negative (-) respectively.
2. using these signed decimal values you use blackberry maps to search by entering
the latitude,
a comma and then
the longitude.
3. you can then use get directions to get the distance between the bearing found in step 2. and where you are.

I hope this helps.
