Add BlackBerry Map to application

Question

I am trying to invoke the map application. I get an exception that says:

MapException(error retrieving dictionaries).

Does my device need an active BlackBerry account to work with BlackBerry maps?

Answer 1

int mh1 = CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandle("net_rim_bb_lbs"); // For OS 4.5 - 5.0
int mh2 = CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandle("net_rim_bb_maps"); // For OS 6.0

if (mh1 == 0 && mh2 == 0) {
       Dialog.alert("BlackBerry Maps not installed");
 }
