So I downloaded and purchased the garmin mobile app. It works great and is outlined extensively in another thread by many people.. MY question is since I no longer need BB maps will removing it cause any unwanted issues? I don't want to mess up anything and am wondering if anyone else have removed it? Thanks.....

No. I've both removed it and reinstalled it.

ok I followed your advice and deleted it... Wow... my phone is useless.. I can't even open up messages. Phone just locks up.. So far 6 battery pulls in the last 8 minutes.... Don't delete BB maps... Unless something else went screwy this was a mistake!

The OP didn't say or even HINT at removing BB Messenger. The app in question was BB MAPS. There's a huge difference in these two apps.

Having said that, I have BB Maps and Garmin installed on my Storm and do NOT have BB Messenger installed at all. No need for it as I don't send PIN messages to anyone. My phone works just fine.

I have neither bbmaps or bbmessenger installed.

No issues for me.

Ouch. Sorry man. Might want to look into getting a replacement sent out.

[rynoondew]

how could removing BB maps cause this kind of problem... aaauggh!

[psufan5]

Why dont you just try restoring the phone to factory defaults... format the dang thing

This is why you backup your phone before trying crap you aren't sure whats going to happen.

the problem was it was locking up even when connecting to my computer... I finally was able to get it connected without and lock ups and was able to re-install BB maps... and now its works again no problems... Never will I delete BB maps again.. sheesh!

Is the Garmin a one time charge and also does it a turn by turn voice prompts?

I don't have BB maps and haven't had any problems.

not having bb maps on the phone didn't do it..

but something in the uninstall may have you may want to try reloading a backup
