    after a couple of attempts, I finally managed to d/load google maps. I then went to run the app and my BB froze, i restarted, tried again to run the google maps app and nothing, absolutely nothing happens?

    I'm on a 1 day old curve 8300.

    It's my first BB and despite nae google maps at the mo, I am loving it, how have I bene living without a BB ?

    Okay, fortunately solved this problem myself, so to help anyone who has similar problems in the future...

    I'm in UK on T-Mobile.

    I had web'n'walk but not BIS. You NEED BIS to receive data and use such things as google maps and BB maps. Web'n'walk is basically useless on BB, they have it pretty sorted over at RIM.

    I bought a GPS receiver on ebay for �20. When this didn't solve the problem above, I got on to T-Mobile, and swapped my web'n'walk subscription for Blackberry internet service (BIS)

    Problem solved, both BB map and Google Maps are amazing and work well with my GPS linked via bluetooth.

    Good Luck.
