Default Default Maps

Please Login to Remove!

Hello all,
I have a BB 9700 and would like to know how to make Google Maps the default Maps for my BB 9700. I went to options/advanced/maps and the only map I have to choose from is Blackberry Maps. I have installed the latest version of Google Maps 4.2.0.

Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

You cannot make it default.

Trax95008,
The app that I am using is called "Trapster" (Speed Trap Sharing System - Trapster) and when I use this program the maps that show up are Microsoft maps. I asked the Company and they told me the maps that show up are driven by my provider (which is T-mobile) and or the Blackberry (9700). I don’t know how true this is or not. I do know that I have blackberry maps as my default service, I have Google Maps 4.2 installed, and when I open trapster Microsoft Maps show up, I just don’t like Microsoft maps, I prefer Google Maps.

My OS is 5.0.0.714, maybe I will upgrade to the newest version and try it again.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
