    Hey guys. I have been reading all morning on the forum and can not come up with a couple of answers. I just activated an unlimited data plan on my BB with AT&T. Can I use BB Maps or some other mapping program and actually see where I am (as opposed to just using it like a map) or do I need a GPS bluetooth device to do that? I know that AT&T offers some service for $10 a month but I would like to get around that if possible.

    Thanks in advance

    You can use GoogleMaps on At&t and see where you are as well as search for stuff, get directions, etc

    Google maps is covered under ATT's unlimited data plan.
    I use both Google Maps and a GPS program called Nav4All, which will do voice turn by turn directions with no monthly fee.

    No. 2 separate apps.

    If you have an 8300 as your profile indicates, that does not have an internal GPS. You would need a bluetooth gps puck.

    Google Maps will give you a very general idea of where you are based on your cell tower. But we're talking a possible several mile radius. Not good for navigation.
