After looking at and trying many map and
Navigation apps, I stumbled across a free down load and
Decided to try it. and hands down bb maps is by far the
greatest app
To date that I have used, and now to make room in memory I have deleted all other memory munching map crap from my hand set.
So if you have an
Internal. Or blue tooth gps this is
The one to have. I
Have given up on the idea of purchasing
A gps device now, and
Saved a couple of hundred bucks too

My phone came with BB maps, but since I'm not using any GPS I opted to use google maps because for me google maps loads and refreshes quite a bit faster.

HEYWOOD!!! If I haven't said so already welcome to the boards.

Quick question- how did you get the gps to work via Bluetooth?

I've paired the gps puck with my 8700g via the berry maps app but I can't anything else to work.

Any ideas??

I like bbmaps but in my opinion nothing beats voice directions I realtime. Telanav offers this. I've used it on many trips. I it let know when Ihave taken a wrong turn despite the ovious directions. Then rerouted me. This helped me while going thru houston which I am not familiar with. And it finds gas by price nice. And always helps me find the local starbucks. Really nice. It is worth the 9.99 a month it costs. But I do like bbmaps n google maps I just like looking @ maps. ~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

I am using a trial version of wayfinder. The voice thing is good (except for the British accent), but the maps load rather slowly. The nice thing about it is that it's a flat fee of $99. Is Telenav faster? I don't know if I would justify a $10/month fee ($120 a year, etc.) if it's not significantly better and more useful.

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~if you have a older phone like my 7105t bbmaps is worthless. Pretty much a rip off of google maps.

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~i use google map also, since I don't use gps.

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~question, has the 8700g version of Telenav been released?

[dolphinrich]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~ I thought utilizing BB Maps and GPS required 4.2 handheld code. I have tried it with 4.1 on 8703, but haven't gotten the GPS part to work.

Google Maps is great. Traffic is helpful, as well as being able to look up Starbucks, etc.

I use telenav, I have no clue if I am being charged $9 a month, I thought nextel is was like $3 maybe I am wrong, I know I am paying for gps.

So if my gps sevice is on, the bb maps is free?

Telenav is $10/month with Sprint-Nextel.
