This might be a stupid question but would I need a GPS puck, or any GPS, to use this app?

-Thanks

Live Search does not require a GPS puck. You can enter your location by entering an address or pointing to a location on the map. Once your location is set, you the search will trigger from that point.

Using GPS with the app allows you to grap your location from the GPS, and track your progress on the map.

Oh ok good. So this app is like using Google maps but maybe a bit better, from what I've read in this thread. Thanks again for the clarification.

Agreed--it doesn't work for me either. But I can access other apps over my Bell device with no issues--so I'm not sure where the problem is. Hopefully there is a resolution soon.

A question about directions...I did a restaurant search and was told in some of the directions to the restaurant to "Turn LEFT (South) onto Local road(s)." The next direction told me to "Keep STRAIGHT onto Blue Ridge road," the correct road that the previous left turn had put me on.

Other turns in the same direction set do say the name of the road I'm turning on to (as in "Turn RIGHT onto Brook Road")

Why does LS not know the name of the road when it tells me to turn, but then does know the name after the turn is completed?

Anyone else seen this?

Playing some more, and can't get WLS to use my BT GPS. Google Maps uses it fine, but WLS only has "Disable" and "Blackberry GPS" as choices in the GPS setup. What's the trick?

OK...it's working w/my GPS now. Maybe the result of a battery pull, not sure exactly. But it works very well.

Does anyone else get an error that says "Cannot Access GPS: This application requires authorization from your wireless service provider to access the GPS functionality."

This is an AT&T 8300 running 4.2.2.166 software.

I am using the Sprint CDMA 8130 Blackberry Pearl. I have been using Google maps with the internal GPS with this until I saw this was available and had to give this a try since I use MS Streets and Trips along with local.live.com for all my directions.

Everything installed fine, Live search all work great but one thing. When showing my location in this application, it only shows my location by closest cell tower. Is there something I am missing?

All the other mapping software are able to use the internal gps but this one. Google Maps, Nav4All, Telenav...

Other then that, this application was worth waiting for.

google maps works for me.

wouldn't you expect MS to make sure it would work on a Curve from AT&T?

You would think people that own a 8300 curve realizes it doesn't have gps.

I have to say, that I love this program, and use it almost daily. I'm not a MS fan, but this is a very useful and easy and fun app for me.

I do realize that the 8300 Curve does not have a GPS, I get this message while trying to use an external BT GPS.

Thumbs up

I just downloaded it; still unsure whether it's going to cost me anything extra...

It takes a little getting used to -- the UI for searches isn't quite what I'm used to, but so far it's working good, and it's much more graphically appealing user-friendly than Infospace FindIt or Beyond411.

How will MS inform people about software updates, particularly when it goes from BEta to full release?

It does an update check every time it loads...no need for a separate update process.

The GUI is it's strength for me...it sometimes won't find something that Google Maps does, but it's simple to use via the trackball...minimal to no data entry, depending on what I'm doing.

I am having the same problem with WLS on my 8300 with a Freedom 2000 BT puck. In the GPS Configuration, I only have two options, Blackberry GPS and Disable. I do not see my bluetooth puck. If I choose Blackberry GPS I, of course, get the same error message that Cannot Access GPS:...requires authorization from wireless provided...

Is there a solution to this?

You probably have already done all this, but just in case...

You need to set the general BB GPS setting to use your Freedom GPS puck, then you set the WLS setting to use BB GPS, and things will work...that's how mine is configured.

So - after you have paired your Freedom GPS puck w/your BB via BT, go in to Options>Advanced Options>GPS and set GPS Data Source to the "Keychain GPS 2000" option (the other option, if your device has a GPS will be "Device GPS" - don't use that.

Then in WLS you set GPS to "Blackberry GPS" and WLS will use your puck. (Of course, make sure that BT is enabled and the Freedom puck is turned on and properly paired before you start WLS.

I've tried all of the above suggestions and I can't get it to work at all. Totally frustrating after hearing about how much everyone loves it.
