Actually, the app (as-is) would run all the time when put into the background. You would have to define code to tell it not to if you wanted. The only thing to be careful with is how often you make use of the GPS/radio, and how much processing you do, simply because of its effect on battery life.

Hi – I’m not quite sure what you mean by type of OS, but as far as what version, I know I developed this originally on 4.7, so anything from that up, which is pretty much the majority of all Blackberrys today.

Server side, you can run anything you want of course, whatever web server you prefer.

Avinash – I’m not sure of any good tutorials off hand, but I will keep my eye out later today when I sit down to do some work.

Hi Yach – in the Tools menu in your simulator, there is a “GPS” menu that will tell the simulator what lat/lon values to use. You can both specify static coordinates, as well as a stream of coordinates to simulate movement. I haven’t played with the movement functionality, but I think it can even read in from a file of coordinates.

Hi Toni
What would be the result if i try running it on my system,from where does the lat long value will be retrieved from?

Thanks for the kind words, it’s really appreciated! I know a number of other blogs have helped me over the years, so it’s nice to give back too.
