this.screen = screen;
}

public Coordinates[] getCoordinateHistory() {
Coordinates[] coordinates = new Coordinates[coordinateHistory.size()];
coordinateHistory.copyInto(coordinates);
return coordinates;
}

public void locationUpdated(LocationProvider provider, Location location) {
QualifiedCoordinates qualifiedCoordinates = location.getQualifiedCoordinates();

screen.setLocation(qualifiedCoordinates.getLongitu de(), qualifiedCoordinates.getLatitude());

String message = "Successfully got location at ";
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
message += simpleDateFormat.format(new Date(location.getTimestamp()));

if (coordinateHistory.size() > 0) {
Coordinates lastCoordinates = (Coordinates)coordinateHistory.lastElement();
message += "\nDistance from last update: " + lastCoordinates.distance(qualifiedCoordinates);
}

coordinateHistory.addElement(qualifiedCoordinates) ;
//--------------------------------------------------------

public void run() {
Criteria csCriteria = new Criteria();
csCriteria.setHorizontalAccuracy(Criteria.NO_REQUI REMENT);
csCriteria.setVerticalAccuracy(Criteria.NO_REQUIRE MENT);
csCriteria.setCostAllowed(true);
csCriteria.setPreferredPowerConsumption(Criteria.P OWER_USAGE_LOW);

Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
criteria.setVerticalAccuracy(50);
criteria.setHorizontalAccuracy(50);
criteria.setCostAllowed(true);
criteria.setPreferredPowerConsumption(Criteria.POW ER_USAGE_HIGH);

try {
screen.setMessage("Getting location...");
LocationProvider provider = LocationProvider.getInstance(criteria);
Location location = provider.getLocation(-1);

locationUpdated(provider, location);
if (periodicUpdates) {
// Update every 3 minutes
provider.setLocationListener(this, 180, -1, 10);
}

Hi, I suggest you to check out the BlackBerry developer site. There is lots of info and even sample code.
https://developer.blackberry.com/
There are some developers here too that might be able to help.
