Is it possible to make functionality like compass for Blackberry os 6.0?

If any idea please help me.

All suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

Milan

This looks like this nformaitn might help you do this:

But as far as I know, this is OS 7.0 only, so you need an OS 7 device.  Not sure how or if you could do this in OS 6.0.  Does it really need to be OS 6.0?

Hi, 

Thanks for reply ...

yes I have to give support from 6.0 OS.

Actually I have to show on the basis of longitude & longitude ...

If any idea let me know...

Thanks,

A compass usually shows where north is, and that is all.  What do mean by this?

" I have to show on the basis of longitude & longitude ..."

Yes,I have to show direction on the basis of latitude & longitude...

Can I do that ?

Thanks.

Haven't we already covered this:

I got direct using that code but I want to get direction on the basis of Device.

As Device rotate direction should have to update.

As I write code in that case direction remained same...

I want to do functionality like compass..

I think you get my Question...

Thanks..

So is that question solved now?  If so, can you mark it as Solved, see Instructions in the Help Link near the top of the screen.

Regarding figuring out the direction your device is pointing, sorry can't help, but do a search for compass in the forum and you will find similar questions that might help.
