Hi,

Could someone explain to me what exactly BlackBerry Navigator is? I've never heard of it.

Thanks

[BigwhiteUK]

Either have it! Logged into beta zone and it was there as an available programme, but nothing in the download section.

[BigwhiteUK]

Just waiting! Though I do use M8, excellent satnav for phone

Doesn't work in Ireland unfortunately, only Northern Ireland

In beta zone it does say navigator is consumer! So not a beta version perhaps

BB Navigator. Hmmm, I'm very intrigued

Can anyone grab me a screencap and post the details? Not seeing it listed yet.

[ichat]

Looks interesting

Sent from my Nintendo NES

[mr_gill]

Im assuming this wasnt supposed to be available to download just yet as there is no way to enter the keycode!

[BigwhiteUK]

Yep, same problem here! Hope they do better with OS 10

hope so. Blackberry Traffic looks ancient.

Nothing in Canada yet. I want to test this so I get use to it. It should be what we see on BB10.

[mathking606]

I'm thinking that this is a test for the upcoming BB10 Maps app since it is powered by Tom Tom. It is also cool that it offers 3D as well.

[sf49ers]

looks like the mapping software is developed by TCS (which owns Network in motion, a company that is specialized in telematics and navigation ). they also have their app in itunes store by name Gokivo. But the maps are powered by Tomtom

so you may expect more or less the same interface

The research and information by crackberry members never ceases to amaze me. Love it
