If you need preloaded maps, you might want to consider TrekBuddy and Mobile GMaps. These are the only two mapping apps that I know of for the BlackBerry that don't use real-time data. I haven't used either.
I don't think there are any turn-by-turn options for BlackBerry that don't use data. All of them require servers to calculate the routes.
About the only thing close to that would be arrow mode in amAze. It will still use data to calculate the route, but as long as you are on arrow mode, it won't use data again unless you go off route.
Well, I will probably be able to use my WiFi before I go on the trip/route. Is there anything that will cache the maps before, then use those maps during it?
I have a 9700 and just downloaded wwwmapcachercom Map Creation Tool for MGMaps Mapcacher is the download link for the MAP data. I use this in conjunction with MG MAPS free gps application. I am traveling to Paris, and want to get around easy, and do not want to use the expensive international data connection. I tested it already, and it works perfect. Just follow the video step by step on you tube that somebody already posted wwwyoutubecom/watch?v=gav9sOMLBGo YouTube - MgMaps Installation on Blackberry 9700[/url] - IT WORKS GREAT. (its a little tetious to install the program, then create the data, but IT DOES WORK!!!!
go for gpsmid
free, turn by turn direction, voice navi, POIs, map is onboard memory( means ist offline, hence no data plan needed)
gpsmid.sourceforge.net/
IF YOUR PHONE IS A NON TOUCHSCREEN PHONE AND YOUR "CITY", not the "country" or the state" map, IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE "READY TO GO MAP" , I suggest u to create your own map using the osm2gpsmid, dont use their "READY TO GO MAP", country and state map can be pretty big(>10mb big)
i works on my bb 9000
if there is any problem just pm me.
hope this help
