You all need to head your BB's Browser over to Google Maps to get the new Maps Beta, with My Location

Google Maps with My Location (beta)

See your location on the map, with or without GPS. Save time and tedious keystrokes finding where you are, what's around you, and how to get there. Watch the video on the right to see how it works.

Press "0" and look for the blue dot: or

If you have a GPS-enabled device, this blue dot corresponds to your GPS location. At times, or if you do not have a GPS-enabled phone, you might see the blue dot surrounded by a light blue circle (as shown on the right) to indicate uncertainty about your location.

Why the uncertainty? The My Location feature takes information broadcast from mobile towers near you to approximate your current location on the map - it's not GPS, but it comes pretty close (approximately 1000m close, on average). We're still in beta, but we're excited to launch this feature and are constantly working to improve our coverage and accuracy.

The My Location feature is available for most web-enabled mobile phones, including Java, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Nokia/Symbian devices.

Get more info on the My Location feature and supported devices, or discuss Google Maps and My Location with other users.

Loaded it up onto my 8130 from Sprint and it works, buuuut. It's pulling my location from the cell towers and not GPS. Does the GPS for the 8130 for Sprint and Google Maps not work? In the options there is Bluetooth GPS but I'm assuming that's for phones that bluetooth that would pull the GPS info from GPS's equipped with Bluetooth over to the phone using Bluetooth.
