Now, I went to the BB browser and I went to maps.google.com now it only displays text directions..how can i enable it to display satellite views and stuff..it is possible right? I'M SUCH A NOOB, its my first BlackBerry, and so far I'M LOVIN' IT!!

You have to download and install the mobile version onto your BB. I don't remember where it's located.

To view cool sat imagery you need the google maps mobile installed.
www.gmail.com/gmm google maps mobile client
www.gmail.com/app gmail mobile client while you're at it.

Waiting on gcalendar now, c'mon google.

Does Google Maps work better than the Blackberry Maps that comes on the device?

Cool...this BT GPS puck - do you buy those separately? I have a Bluetooth earpiece to talk on, but is that different from this puck to help GPS?

Krissy · 11-21-2006, 10:47 PM

Yes - the GPS puck is different from the earpiece. You can find them relatively cheap on eBay. If your device already has GPS built in you won't need a puck though.

If itxxx8217;s a receiver youxxx8217;re looking for then I would recommend the GPSlim236 from Holux.
