My Torch is hiding Blackberry Maps, I installed it once and a week or so later the icon was "missing", though the app still showed up in my app list. I had to uninstall and reinstall, did that about a week ago, and it is gone again... Is there something more that needs to be done after the install? I was able to run it before it went missing, so I didn't think there was.
AT&T is hiding my BB maps icon. I recently went to Europe and with a Tmobile sim in from the UK, the BB maps icon appeared and worked flawlessly. When I got back to the states, the icon disappeared again.
From BB Fourms: AT&T has it removed Blackberry Maps as they have their own AT&T Maps and AT&T Navigator. But you can still get Google Maps and the like.
A possible fix to lauch BB Maps without the icon showing, which AT&T has disables after a battery pull: Use Poynt and select BBmaps as default in options; then use the "map it!" feature. The other option is to reinstall everytime you do a battery pull so that the icon shows back up.

AT&T didn't 'remove' BB Maps - all they did was push a Service Book that blocks the icon...

Search for "BB Maps launcher" posted by user Brandon32. There you will find a launcher app that will keep an icon on your phone even when AT&T deletes the stock one.
