How do I get Garmin satnav or an equivalent in the UK?
Just received my first Blackberry...the Bold 9780 on Virgin. Love it more than I had hoped BUT ... my previous phone was a fairly poxy Nokia X6 (again on Virgin) which had a brilliant Sat Nav which incidentally came free with the phone. Having no joy getting the same on my Blackberry. Dont mind paying if its good... am I missing something or is this a massive hole in BLackberrys otherwise impressive armoury? Managed to download a Garmin app which located me and gave me an instant list of local amenities and their distance but couldnt show me a map apparently because I wasnt in the U.S. Feels like an elephant in the room to me...getting frustrated/disappointed. Does nobody else in the UK feel the same? Please help.
nb Has anybody downloaded the chargeable Garmin app on the UK? If so can ou confirm if it works. The free trial one clearly didnt work properly so it doesnt fill me with confidence to fork out for the paid version, especially as there appears to be absolutely no support or now ay of contacting anyone if it doesnt work. Yes there is a support button on the site but it doesnt work.
