This has only been tested on Orange UK, and Blackberry Bold - but there is no reason why it couldn’t work for other operators or devices.
Obviously its installed on all Blackberry devices, but inaccessible. The reason? Data costs for the network? Attempts to push a bespoke paid service? Who knows.
But I’d rather have the features that where advertised to me in the first place, thanks.
Turn on the camera, press the options key.
Select ‘Options’, then enabled Geotagging.
This stores your current location in your pictures.
Take a picture of anything around you.
Now press the options key, and select ‘View on map’.
This opens Blackberry Maps.

They don't have any map data of Australia, so I end up using Trekbuddy most of the time, which has the ability to use maps stored on the MicroSD card, rather than downloading them all the time.
I pretty much doubt it'll work for anyone with a CDMA version that doesn't pay the Verizon tax to enable this. That is unless someone comes up with a hack/crack to over come the artificial built in limitiation.
I have a Bold from AT&T and followed the instructions listed above but after enabling geotagging on photos & taking a picture, there is no option listed to view the photo location on a map. AT&T excludes the maps application because they want you to use their navigation program that costs $9.99/month. Does anyone know where I can get the BB maps software?
