This is a real cool application - - - potentially up there if not better than Google Maps. http://local.live.com

It gives you a bird eye's view (satellite image) of an address (if available), in addition to the aerial view. The quality of the image is outstanding!

I tried to access this site from my 8700c, but am getting invalid address message when entering any address... :(

ocal.live.com I believe uses something similiar to Shockwave. It's rather nice in some ways, but there is no satellite imagery of Canada's capital (where I live) and the imagery for many locations are better via Google. Although I am sure the vice versa is true at local.live.com ....

I think you need a custom application (ala Google Local Mobile) in order for it to work. Google Maps is available for BlackBerry at www.google.com/glm as well as clones at other sites such as www.freek.ca ...

Hopefully a "mobile" version will be coming out in the near future. Already using Google Local Mobile which I very much llike, though a new perspective with more detailed images is always sought after with the rapidly evolving technology these days.

can you use this on 7100i?

If you are referring to Google Local Mobile - - yes.

Which phones does Google Local for mobile support?
Local for mobile works with most Java-enabled (J2ME) mobile phones offered by Cingular and Sprint, and all color BlackBerry devices regardless of carrier.

Not for me it didn't on my 7100t from t-mo uk.

Dido -- not on my 7520 Nextel either no matter how hard I strived. Somehow it is dependent on the system you are on (BES)

Interesting. I got the information that is supports all color blackberrys from the Google site.

GOOGLE LOCAL

If you look at the google local site - http://www.google.com/glm/getstarted.html? you'll see it says "Google Local for mobile doesn't currently work with Nextel, T-Mobile or BREW-enabled phones (e.g. Verizon, Alltel, U.S. Cellular), or Palm devices. "

Asianmaze..... Look at it again...

You did not read the entire answer to the question.

The next paragragh is what you read only - - and it refers to NON BLACKBERRY phones...

At this time, Local for mobile doesn't work with Nextel, T-Mobile or BREW-enabled phones (e.g. Verizon, Alltel, U.S. Cellular), or Palm devices. To see whether the application will work on your phone, simply visit http://www.google.com/glm/getstarted.html and answer a few questions about your mobile phone.

It is working like a charm on my 8700c using Tmobile.

I'm guessing, since it doesn't work for me - and others here - that it's to do with BIS/BES
