Free Satnav for your BlackBerry

J86 · 17 Jun 2011 at 15:26

Yeah, I mainly posted this for Blackberry users as I believe its the best performing/free GPS available at the moment. Sorry to hear its not very good on Android though.

Does this require a data connection? If so isn't it useless (to me) out of range or in other countries where high roaming charges might apply?

I'm looking for something that can import or convert .gpx files (garmin itinerary routes)

Pleased to say it works great on my Blackberry 9780 now. Only niggling thing is that it keeps asking for the activation code everytime I load the program so keep having to paste it in.

Apart from that, its the best BB sat nav ive come across. Its accurate, and the tracking is spot on. Good POS database built in. It covers the basics well such as Maccys, starbucks, and ATM's.

Speed camera database seems up to date as well. The only niggle is that the voice navigation doesnt go loud enough, but I can always hook it up to the car stereo speakers.

Its a little slow at planning your route with GPRS instead of 3G, but its manageable.

Surely Garmin is the best BB sat nav?

I can't talk as i'm trying out the Android version

I wasn't aware you could get Garmin for free?

Oops, sorry, my response was to Paul W - he never mentioned free:

"Apart from that, its the best BB sat nav ive come across"

I currently use sygic on android, but going to be checking this out, so cheers to the OP.

EDIT: it keeps telling me that calculating route is not in my subscription

Same keeps happening to me!!!

For now I'll stick to google navigation I think

I think they've changed it now a white label solution for network providers. So it's not open to the public

Registration is temporarily suspended

J86 · 7 Nov 2011 at 20:55

Just a quick bump for anyone that needs it.

Beta is now reopen and it is available for 9900 etc

mikester · 7 Nov 2011 at 22:33

Will this work on the Torch 9860? Website isn't loading and App World is having a hard time locating it.

J86 · 7 Nov 2011 at 22:38

Should do

Website is working for me, you won't find it on App World.

Big Chris · 8 Nov 2011 at 08:58

It doesn't list the 9900 when asking you what phone you have in the registration process?

Yeah, not sure why.

When you go to the link on your mobile to download it the 9900 is in the list

Big Chris · 9 Nov 2011 at 18:02

Sweet I'll check it out, cheers.

Big Chris · 9 Nov 2011 at 18:17

Still doesn't show 9900 in the list of phones when registering via my BB? :confused:
