I don't believe there are audible prompts with Blackberry Maps. The main reason why I personally wanted to get it to work was because Poynt is integrated with Blackberry Maps and for more than half of the functionality Poynt provides, it needs Blackberry Maps. They do intend on having it work with other GPS apps (i.e. Google Maps) but in the meantime, I'll test out Poynt using BB Maps.

It's annoying to switch themes (due to all of the icon reshuffling) but something I'm willing to deal with that to overcome AT&T's silly attempts at forcing a revenue stream. At least AT&T isn't as bad as Verizon in this regard.
