You can download the software from blackberry.com website here:BlackBerry - PDA Software Downloads - Support & Services at BlackBerry.com

I am using google maps for free; I chose not to purchase (monthly fee) Verizon's VZNavigator

I believe that the OP was discussing the Desktop Manager software that came on a CD with his device, not mapping applications...

No, maps were mentioned. Google maps is good...and free

Is the GPS still crippled on the 8130? Is it tied to the VZ Navigator service still or has some sort of workaround been found?

Verizon unlocked GPS, but it only works in the BB Maps app, not google maps. and i think you need 4.5 running

Cool, thanks for the info!
