I'm new to BB and my Storm is my first experience and I love it! Anyhow, I have a noobie question about the BB Maps navigation VS the VZ Navigator. Does the BB Maps Navigation charge a fee? It does all that of VZ Nav but does not seem to cost. I have used VZ Nav previously on my Voyager and had to pay a fee but am unsure if there is one associate with BB Maps Navigation...can anyone help?
BB Maps is in your application folder. The cost of VZ Nav has already been posted. Google Maps is free. I don't know about Garmin but I know that my Tom Tom can bluetooth link to my Berry for live traffic updates.
Many people will tell you to delete BB maps and VZ Nav if you have googlemaps because it will make your phone perform faster. I caution you - getting rid of VZ Nav is fine but I would advise to keep BB maps b/c it doesn't require an internet connection and googlemaps does. You know that the minute you delete it you'll find yourself in the middle of nowhere w/ no reception or maps!!! Delete BB maps at your own risk...

Please help. When I open BB Maps it just says trying to locate satellites. I took it outside for about 20 min. and the same thing happened. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Try pulling the Battery see if that fixes anything. I know mine is working fine, in my house and outside.
Go into your GPS settings and make sure it isn't just set to e911.
Anxiously awaiting/assuming that Live Search will have a new release to work with the Storm. Google Maps doesn't even offer traffic in my area, and the Live Search interface is far superior IMO.

BBMaps does use Data, it requires an internet connection to function. I don't know where you get your information but it doesn't have the maps of every single road in the whole US all in a single 1 Meg file.
