Is there any way to get a free navigator or get the GPS to work on the bold that you have thru att without paying for telenav? Very New blackberry user and also very new to crackberry asking. :)

Go get Google Maps, it doesn't have voice navigation but it does everything else and its FREE!!!

You wanna switch to a non-ATT theme. You can install google maps, bb maps, etc.
- 02-22-09, 03:35 PMCountryyLoveeWhich would you say is better? Google maps or BB maps?
- 02-22-09, 03:36 PMUsername00089Google by far. The newest version 3.0.2 is what you want. The only reason why I have BB Maps installed is because WeatherBug won't work without it. So I just hide BB Maps but use Google all the way.

I love google maps. I use it all the time. The new latitude feature is pretty cool. Except I don't know too many people with it.

Nope. It should show up in your downloads folder.

+1 for Google Maps. And if you do want free turn by turn, check out Nav4All and Amaze.

But where I live Google cannot find a route or give directions...
Blackberry Maps on the other hand not only locates me but its directions & routes offered are spot on....
So I use both : one for the pictures and one as a navigation aid:)
At least they are both free (ish.... - 02-22-09, 05:40 PMmadneon
I am currently running AMAZE and google maps now I must say for actual driving directions with voice prompt AMAZE is great for a free piece of software.

- 02-23-09, 04:13 PMbt224Go outside, go to your GPS and refresh GPS. Once you go into Amaze it should all work.
