Hi, I live in Alaska..and am a nature photographer. If I download this to a blackberry…will it work even if I am not connected to the internet…when in the wilds of Alaska one can never be sure that a wireless connection will work consistently and I need something that will work even if I am offline. (I haven’t bought the blackberry yet..so not sure it’s the direction I am going anyway..but in the case that I do..I need my mapping software to work offline as well as online? (Basically..I can use Google Earth Offline..so I should be able to use this software the same way right?

Thanks

Heidi, any BlackBerry with GPS support, such as the 8800, comes with BlackBerry Maps, which allows you to access basic location information without needing an internet connection. You still need a satellite signal in order to get your coordinates, but it looks like RIM’s mapping information for Alaska is fairly complete. Also, I’m pretty sure that once you’ve downloaded the map, it stays cached on your device, so even without a signal, you could access a map that was downloaded previously. Hope that helps!

Hi,

I am developing blackberry applications using RIM api, is there any api exposed by Google map that I can call through my application to pass the parameters?

Does any one know where to get .ALX file for Google Map that would work on BB 8820. I am located in India.

Blackberry Google, amazing is yet to come, great site

google maps for blackberry. accurate up to 1100 meters???
how is a half mile accurate? I am not impressed. I just downloaded it to my blackberry and saw that on my screen. It showed my location so far off that if I was using it to actually find something, I would have thrown the thing out the window.

Is anyone having an issue with it not being able to find your location lately? Mine worked fine for 2 months, now says “Your current location is temporarily unavailable”. Any Ideas?

I had the same problem (accurate to 1100 meters). I uninstalled and reinstalled, it now works. I do have an odd issue with the search feature. The font is white on a white background?
Tricky

Hi everyone,

I have a BB 8800 with blackberry maps. I get a GPS position and sattelitte coverage, but I have an empty screen, with just pointer of my location. Can anyone help me?

Hey guys I have a question, I just got a blackberry 8310 from rim and new to applications, I currently do not have a data plan, but am I still able to use google maps? And if I do will I be charged per kb from my service provider (ROGERS) for installing and using google maps? Any help would be great

Thanks.

Chucky!

Do not hit Google Maps without a data plan!! You will be charged up the wazzoo, so to speak.

Love,

Your Friends @ BBCool

BBCool,

I haven’t yet and thanks for your reply I’ll look into getting a dataplan first

I have saved some positions as Favorites in google maps on my blackberry 8130. How can I export these positions to my desktop computer or read the data, so that I can find them on my desktop google maps? Thanks!

Hi,

I upgraded the software from 4.2 to 4.5 on a 8310 curve. The maps logo has disapeared. Can someone please help me with this? Do I have to install it? If so how do I do it?
Many thanks in advance for the help!

@LG: the blackberry maps disappeared on mine, too. From what I found out,bbmaps was only for 4.2

I think without a data plan only possibility to enjoy maps is then “nogago Outdoor”
