- OK GUYS!
I'm pretty sure the OP get's the message.
I"m the last person to stop anyone from having fun but it's just NOT cool to make fun of anyone personally.
Remember.... there was a time that YOU didn't know much about mobile devices and had to ask questions or got a bit crazy, too.
How about we give this guy a break? It only hurts us in the end because we could lose the OP to another platform just because you made him feel worse than he already feels.06-28-16 01:49 PMLike 0 - OK GUYS!

The Passport does not suck and it is an excellent communication device and it takes care of business...

I love my Passport, too.
It's just been my experience here, for the past many years that the first thing people do is blame whatever issue they have ,on the device.
It also seem (imo) that those people must have been out the day others were taught how to communicate with people.
IN fact it,it was most likely his parents fault. That's what it always come down to. The parents.
I mean, the only thing I learned in school was to Shut up, turn around, spit out the gum, and directions to the principals office.So, I can't blame it on his schooling!!

- The biggest problem people have with their devices..... The reason most people have issues is because they are too lazy to READ THE MANUAL, USE THE HELP APP or SEARCH for the answer.
It's all there right on your device. EVERYTHING you could possibly want to know is right at you fingertips. Easy to understand explanations, even video tutorials.akshay_neudigit likes this.06-28-16 02:26 PMLike 1 -
If performance in general is sluggish you can try backing up all your important data and run the 2876 autoloader.

The problem with having THIS kind of fun and using bad language is that they DON'T give out awards for being funny at someone else's expense.
Instead, they give out infractions.
If they gave out awards for "funny" I'd have them all.
(I have the infractions to prove it.

If you think this is bad, don't go near Reddit. �\_(ツ)_/�06-28-16 03:24 PMLike 0 - DenverRalphyRetired Network ModAlthough device based GPS mapping services don't actually use data, at least not enough to be an issue, it does depend on being able to lock onto your data signal so it can track your vehicle. If that fails your GPS will triangulate with the nearest local towers and will give you a rougher idea where you are and where you're going. If you lose contact with your carrier altogether the GPS won't have a clue where you are nor where to send you. I've actually found BB Maps to be extremely helpful and accurate but if I know if I'm going to be in an area my carrier doesn't have a lot of coverage I use my old beaten up Garmin as a back up. As some others have suggested before, you can download maps to be used offline as an option but blaming BlackBerry for what clearly is a carrier issue isn't going to get you anywhere.
The data connection based on local towers or recognized wifi spots only allows for a faster initial computation of fixation. Once that fixation is accomplished, GPS alone does all the work. Without the data connection, initial fixation is still accomplished, but it may take a minute more to zero in.
Beyond that, all a data connection is needed for is to continuously download maps for a visual representation at the client end if the maps are not already pre loaded.
Your device's GPS has a radio transmitter independent of the cellular transmitter/receiver.Last edited by DenverRalphy; 06-28-16 at 03:56 PM.

I made an unplanned detour on a trip yesterday, in an unfamiliar territory (Santa Cruz, CA and beyond), and poor old BlackBerry maps just couldn't figure out how to get me home. I had to go back to actually watching signs and figuring it out!06-29-16 01:29 AMLike 0

- Not really true. No data connection is needed to track the location of your device. A data connection only speeds up the initial lock. GPS alone will provide that, to within 3.5 meters if your GPS only has 3 satellites connected. If your GPS has connected to 6/7 satellites, which is common, then you can be narrowed down to 1 meter of accuracy.
