Hi all,

i am working on Location API on Blackberry 9000, when i run the following program i am getting the below exception

javax.microedition.location.LocationException:Time d out while waiting for GPS Location.


Does it require carrier support,i am using Airtel carrier in India. i am getting same exception when i run it on a J2ME device.

Please give me any suggestions on this issue?
