Thanx in advance!!!
To begin with you need to break your question down into parts. Then ask for help on each of those parts/tasks. So let me take a quick stab at break this down...
- You'll need to get the current geo location.
(java)
http://www.riccomini.name/Topics/Mobile/BlackBerry/BlackBerryStormGPS/(WebWorks) http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/11849/blackberry_location_568404_11.jsp
- You'll need some kinda of mapping API to get/create maps:
(Java app)
Either Google Maps : http://www.blackberryforums.com/developer-forum/143263-heres-how-start-google-maps-landmark.html OR RIM's Map API ( http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/6.0.0api/net/rim/device/api/lbs/maps/package-summary.html : http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/17954/Creating_a_static_image_of_a_map_1205333_11.jsp )
(WebWorks) -- Just Google for "JavaScript and Google Map API" -- Also, there are a couple of good books out there.
- You'll need to be able to overlay/pull the traffic information ( If your using the Google Map API, then you could use a Google map overlay for traffic: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/services.html#Traffic_Overlays )
After looking at this I would suggest you build this using the WebWorks SDK (aka blackberry widget app). I think it would be the simplest solution to integrating with Google's MAP APIs. And using WebWorks SDK would also allow your app to run on the Playbook.
