Are there any third party libraries or SDK's - commercial or open source - that would provide a straightforward way to integrate Bing Maps in a BlackBerry application? Now that Bing Maps Mobile is free for use in consumer-facing apps, it's a really compelling choice.

Nutiteq provides the only option I've found so far (short of developing in house). Hoping there are others.

Thanks in advance.

  • Why are you not using Google Maps or Open Street Maps? Is there a specific requirement there? – Chinmoy Mar 23 '12 at 14:00
  • Google Maps licensing fees are prohibitively expensive. Open Street Maps is a viable option as far as the tiling goes, but in and of itself isn't enough -- a lot of coding goes into actual providing a map that works. – Aaron Mar 30 '12 at 02:39

Bing maps has a REST API. You can see this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff701722.aspx

However, I am not sure about any SDK for Blackberry. Check if any unofficial project has used this REST API to create a wrapper for Blackberry. Otherwise, you can always use the browser field to fetch the map tiles.
