Mobile Google Maps with Location information

The latest phone support JSP-179 (Java Location API for mobile phones), using this java API you can get location information. I was wonder with the launch of Google maps for mobile phones (i.e. Goolge Maps as an MIDP Application that runs on your mobile phone). I was wondering if it can be modified so that it uses the Location API to get your current location information.

This guy has some idea about something similar but he using an external GPS receiver. This bluetooth receiver picks up GPS infromation and transmittes it to the mobile phone through bluetooth and phone displays the maps and other information.

I tried searching for the gmaps MIDP application source code and I found a link in one of the forums
