Point your BB browser to google.com/gmm.

There's a new interface and it will erase your favorites.

The new look is nice. No idea what else is new in it.

Is it faster at loading maps? Comparing it to BB maps and Yahoo go?

Verizon doesn't support GPS? What kind of company are they anyway?

Sitting back with my popcorn.

Let the bashing continue

What does having vzw have anythign to do with trying this software? GPS is not a requirement to use GMaps. Also, instead of whining about it in these forums constantly, if GPS is so important to you, why dont u just pick up a BT puck and use these programs you so dearly need.

Actually, I really like InfoSpace better. If I need a basic map program I'll use the stripped down BBMaps that's on the phone already.

Interesting...
When you run it, the first splash screen says "Do not use while driving"

I had an initial download problem I restarted my phone and tried again and it worked.


As for speed, BB maps and yahoo go maps are still faster, I am really disappointed google didnt upgrade the map compression to make it faster. Obviously BB maps and yahoo can do it just fine, if google gets on the ball they would have one heck of an app, I really miss using it on my treo that was blazing fast.

It's probably a bad link. Try and report it to Google.

Thumbs up

That's what I thought. Maybe the link is bad or just down right now. I hope that's it. I will keep trying.

I noticed that on an AT&T Curve, Google Maps 1.6.0 doesn't have the Bluetooth GPS option like version 1.5.4 did. What's up with that?
