One less choice for GPS on Blackberry (and other units) - received this email from Nav4All on 1/29:
Dear Customers,
It is with the deepest regret that we hereby notify you that the global navigation of Nav4All and the Tracking & Tracing will go offline in 3 days. The reason for the same is that the data licence agreement with Navteq (a 100% Nokia subsidiary) was not extended, in a totally unexpected manner. It is not possible to implement data from another supplier in our Nav4All systems within the short term.
The Nav4All navigation system was developed for Navteq data. Nav4All has therefore been constrained to stop.
We greatly regret the fact that we have to suspend the operation of our service. With your help, we have developed Nav4All into a global product with 27.5 million users in 56 languages, in 5 years. This has made Nav4All the largest navigation supplier. This large number of users also has to do with the fact that Nav4All works on hundreds of different mobile telephones of many makes such as Blackberry, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Motorola, Android, HTC, Nokia, LG, Iphone, Ipod etc.
After 5 years of testing and market development, we witnessed rapid - in fact, exponential - growth during the last two years. That growth was reported in the licence reports to Navteq. In mid-December 2009, the global coverage was extended to include the Philippines, Morocco and Kenya.
Please contact the Nav4All support desk in case you have any
questions: Nav4All - Free GPS navigation for your mobile phone!. If there is any further information from Nav4All concerning the subject of this letter, the same will be published on our website: Nav4All - Free gps navigation for your mobile phone!. For reasons of privacy, Nav4All does not have the email addresses of all its customers, and we therefore request you to forward this email to the maximum extent possible, in order to ensure that everyone is informed.
Kind Regards,
Hennie J.M. Groot Koerkamp (CEO)

Again, I do appreciate the effort in bringing all those threads together. Just doubt it will accomplish what you hope.06-13-09 08:11 AMLike 0

After seeing the same request over and over again I thought I'd just spent 10 minutes and help them out. If they don't read it I can easily refer them to the source. Next up, a list of all the "weather app" threads06-13-09 11:24 AMLike 0 - Is it just me or anyone else are having this problem with lifeinpocket. I'm having a hard time mooing to the next field when typing a new address.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com07-28-09 04:14 PMLike 0 - I just recently saw a commercial for telus and they were advertising google maps on some of their phones, I find it hard to believe that they can advertise somthing that doesnt even work on their network ??? unless it recently got an update and is compatible with telus now but I mean I tried just a couple weeks ago and I still cant get my exact position.08-16-09 03:30 PMLike 0

- Just a quick one (hopefully) - ist there any point-to-point navigation application for the blackberry storm out there on the market, that does NOT need a data connection while navigating?
I'm looking for an application that stores its map data on the device storage. This would be very usefull when your are not in your home country and data transfer costs a fortune when roaming. I think even the Garmin Mobile for BlackBerry app needs data transfer to navigate as all the map data is stored online at Garmin and not on the device?03-25-10 05:41 AMLike 0 - jeffhRetired ModeratorJust a quick one (hopefully) - ist there any point-to-point navigation application for the blackberry storm out there on the market, that does NOT need a data connection while navigating?
