Hi all i have a 8110 and i am trying to get bb maps i have a vodafone 8110,it says in apps that it is on the phone but no icon i have searched the forum and not got a propper answer i have showed all items but it's not there, is there another map program i can use i don't want to use google maps because you need to use wap to download the maps as you go i want a program with the maps already there so i can use the gps so it's all free hope some one knows how to do this thanks all

Hmm. Did you perhaps inadvertantly hide the application? Try going to your applications list and select Menu>Show all. If that doesn't work, try logging in to your BIS site and resend your service books.

Hi mate yeah tryed that how do i send the service books bud.

[jenaywins]

Go to your carrier's BIS site, and you can resend them from there.

Couple of things here. 1) unless you have an external GPS
receiver you are out of luck as the 8320 is not a GPS enabled
device. 2) Some carriers block the display of the BB Maps icon,
I think to force you to use whatever subscription app comes
with your device.

EDIT: I just confirmed this by installing BB Maps, resent Service Book
still no icon.

Hi sorry to confuse you by my profile i have a 8110 as well that is what i was on about lol

[excaliber76]

Hi all a quick update i still can't get it to show bb maps even though it is on the phone.I phoned vodafone but they said i need to pay,i said i just wanted the phone inabled so i can see the bb maps logo but they never understud? so has anyone used a map program that is free to use with the inbuilt gps yet or should i just give up lol thanks all.

Oh sorry about that. I missed that in your original post.

I found a way to get the icon to show up. Here are the
instructions I used to get it to show up on the device and
now I can run the app if I wish, but I hate BB Maps so its
getting deleted soon as I am done with this post

What OS are you on.
option > status. Third line down

It is 4.3.0.93 mate

[amazinglygraceless]

I just did a quick Forum search and could not find anything
for beyond OS 4.2. Have you considered Google Maps (much better),
Nav4All (free, turn by turn) or amaZeGPS (also free)
