Google Maps Mobile, now with GPS support
This post was published 2 years 9 months 28 days ago which may make its actuality or expire date not be valid anymore. This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.Keep in mind that like all things Google Mobile, BlackBerry users have the upper hand getting software updates before anyone else. If you point your mobile brower to http://google.com/gmm with your GPS enabled BlackBerry device, you’ll be prompted to download and install the latest Google Maps Mobile. This new release provides software support which would allow Google Maps to use the GPS module built-in to your device to improve your Google mapping experience.
GPS, or Global Positioning System, is a feature on many mobile devices and peripherals. Google Maps for mobile combined with GPS provides a faster, easier way to access local information when you’re on the go. The BlackBerry® 8800 smartphone from Cingular is the latest open GPS experience with Google Maps, and we want to spread the word. Here’s why we’re so worked up about GPS:
After reading and hearing about this one, I momentarily considered returning to a GPS enabled BlackBerry device – retiring my Nokia N95. Hopefully other handheld are supported soon.
its not supported on sprint phones…atleast the upstage doesnt work with it…but it works with mg maps
ehh.. everytime i try it just tells me it cant locate at this time
I want this on my N95!
Ross, I’m with you on that request! Gmaps loads much quicker than the GPS app that ships with the Nokia.
Was looking forward to this feature.. BB seems to be complete now! :-)
