***To use this sample, you must sign up for API keys from the service you wish to use. The links below will point you in the right direction. ***

Google Maps
Bing Maps
Leaflet via CloudMade
OpenLayers

Open js/maps.js and enter your API Keys in the proper place

function initApp() {

  APIKey = {
    'bing': '<my bing key>',
    'leaflet': '<my leafleft/cloudmade key>'
  };

  console.log('app initialized');
  startGeolocation();
}

As of BlackBerry WebWorks 1.0.2.9 SDK, all domains you plan on making Ajax/XHR requests to must be whitelisted in your app's config.xml.

<access uri="*" subdomains="true" />
<access uri="http://virtualearth.net" subdomains="true" />
<access uri="http://bing.net" subdomains="true" />

Don't forget to access the devices location information via HTML5 Geolocation, the proper permissions must be requested.

<rim:permissions>
	<rim:permit>access_location_services</rim:permit>
</rim:permissions>

Your API Keys are meant to be private. For demonstration purposes we're coding the keys right in the JavaScript source. This is not best practice, and is not recommended. You don’t want anybody to get access to your keys.

One way to securely pass your API Keys to your application is to host them on a server, then use SSL and do a POST to obtain your keys.

1. Clone the repo to your local machine
2. Use Using the Ripple Mobile Emulator and either the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK for Smartphone or the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK for Tablet OS, package the contents of your local BB10-WebWorks-Samples/Maps folder into a BlackBerry application.
