Default GPS Software for Israel?

Please Login to Remove!

I downloaded Nav4all because it said it worked in Israel but when I finally tried it there, it didn't work at all.

Is there any software that would work in Israel?

Try AmazeGPS. It's being developed in Israel so I would assume it would work over there.

I found a Blackberry friendly GPS program with
Israel Maps. Its called Telmap Navigator. They also have a 14 day free trial offer.
Go to www.telmapnavigator.com
It looks pretty good
. I'll post to let you know how it performs after I've tested it.

Maps of Israel were added to Google Maps in September. They appeared just after we had spent a weekend driving around Israel, so we didn't get to use Google Maps much. It would have been really useful if the maps had been there two days earlier.

The maps of Israel in the mobile version are not very detailed. They seem to be using two different map sources for the mobile and desktop maps. The desktop maps are much more detailed.

I would recommend Google Maps Mobile for any simple navigation / directions purposes in any country. It is just an awesome program!

They are terrible. I just checked it. They onle show major highways in Israel. I tested telmap mavigator. Its a good program but is not available for the Bold.

can google maps be used as GPS with a GPS enabled blackberry - mimicking GPS ? I.E. showing where you are and telling you where to turn as you travel

or only giving step by step instructions of how to get form one place to another ?

thanx
