    I have BB 8320 without At&t data plan and now can access internet via Wi-Fi where available. I saw GPS somewhere on the phone when I was searching for something else. Here are my questions:
    1/ Do I need the data plan in order for GPS to work?
    2/ If not, can I just have the maps on the phone so I can query for directions? where to download them? (Just like mapquest)
    3/ I just can not get voice dialing feature to work and can not find the guide on how to set up in this forum.
    Thanks in advance!

    Oh, Google Maps is my absolute favorite. m.google.com/maps from your phone.

    Thanks! I can not find anywhere to download google maps to my phone. Can you give me the link. Also, can the phone hold all the maps? After downloading them to my phone, can I use the map without connecting to internet?

    well, search on google for maps for mobile and that should give you the link. and No, the maps cannot be saved. google maps downloads the maps as you need them while using them. it's what keeps the service free. but don't you have the bb data plan? you shouldnt have to worry unless you are roaming.

    I think you need a data plan. Someone will correct me if I am wrong.

    The 8320 does not have built-in GPS. One option is to get a GPS puck; I have one and love it.

    Here is a testimonial of my puck:between realities: Tech to the rescue!

    even if he had the puck he needs the data plan for google maps to work.
