This is a very cool application -- It's actually scrollable Google Maps on your BlackBerry. Maps are downloaded OTA realtime "on-the-fly" as you scroll around, just like on the desktop Google Maps.

This was written by one of my coworkers.

Give this one a try.

Tried it, its cool... kinda slow - of course. EDGE should help that out alot

Here's a screenshot of this application.

Is there a way to scroll from right to left? Or can you only scroll the maps up and down?

thanks,

Lee

dude - examine your keyboard. letters O and P (on a 72XX) have a right and left above the letters.

I am on a 7100 - how do I do it??

Thanks,
L

or hold down the alt key while using the scroll wheel

haven't use a 7100 for a while:

if the 7100 has an alt key - hold it down while scrolling

Yup, alt-key did it - thanks,

Lee
