    Thumbs down Google Maps...now, only for Androids???

    With a replacement phone in hand, I wanted to install Google Maps OTA. All of the old links I have either give me an error message or take me to an Android OTA site. I even called Google this morning, and they referred me to their support web site, which also only has support for Androids now. Does anyone have a VALID OTA link for Google Maps for Blackberry? Or, does anyone perhaps have a JAD file they can send me? I miss my Google Maps and Latitude!

    Actually it says only on android, but then gives "google maps by platform" for android and iOS. Appears they have discontinued the application.

    Just a matter of time before this happened. Feels like the consumers won't benefit from this smartphone war. There was a time when google knew which side their bread was buttered on and we're platform agnostic. Now Android has become the monster which google wants to feed. Unfortunately Google has such a huge Web presence that are in a position to slice of major portions of the Web from most other platforms.
    I wonder if they are making themselves open to Anti-Trust lawsuit?

    Life was much simpler when Apple and Blackberry were just fruits

    Are there any alternatives ? I pay extra for the Verizon Navigator and it is lousy. My girlfriend turns on her Boost nav, and we laugh at the difference between that and the Version Nav.
