ATM it can't be done, GPS does work in BB maps though.

Or you can buy a stand alone GPS receiver like a keyfob with bluetooth to give your Curve GPS functionality with third party apps.

ATM = At the moment

BlackBerry Maps is an application that should be on your BB already. It will work if you have OS 4.5 on your BB and you have GPS set to location On, not 911 only.

is bb maps the icon that looks like a crumpled map with a compass?

then where or how do i do the other stuff.

thanks for your patience

If for any reason you do not have Blackberry Maps on your BB. "You should be able to confirm that by : Options / Advanced Options / Applications.... Ther you should see or not see it.

If not... Have a look see here: http://forums.crackberry.com/f2/popu...d-links-21096/

Sorry, I have a Pearl, and I'm also using a Bold theme with different icons, but when you roll over the icon it should say what the icon is for.

To check what your GPS setting is on: Options > Advanced Options > GPS > GPS Services > Location On

Press Back button and Save, if anything was changed.

so all i need to do is the options/advance/gps service/ thing and it works?

Yep, give it a try. You won't get turn by turn audible navigation like VZNav though.
