Hi there! I downloaded BB Maps form the Help menu and decided it was not worth keeping it. I connected the device to my computer to remove the app via software, but it is not shown. Then I tried Options-Advanced-Applications...not there, went into Modules...NOT THERE EITHER!!!!

So how do I remove this???? HELP!!!!

Found it! Thanks anyway!

Welcome to the forums GerardoMex! Glad you were able to fix your issue.

Cheers!

Many of your questions are answered here:

Main Page - BlackBerryFAQ

For instance:

How do I remove applications?

I have the same issue..can you share how you did it?

You have 2 options...

The one listed ABOVE or connect to Desktop Manager and select Application Loader then UNCHECK the box next to BBMaps...

If you are referring to Options:Advanced Options... etc. I tried that but BB Maps isn't listed.

I can't use Desktop Manager on my computer at home because I run Vista and it crashes my machine.

Try pulling the battery for 30 seconds... If you installed it, it should show up in applications... The only other options are to remove in Desktop Manager or use javaloader.... I warn against javaloader to remove this as one little mistake and you have a nice paperweight,,,

You have to remove the modules associated with BB Maps. I had the same problem and finally figured out that the modules were not removed when uninstalled.

Go to Options -> Advanced Options -> Applications. When you see the list of applications, click the wheel and select Modules. Remove the following 4 modules:

net_rim_bb_lbs
net_rim_bb_lbs_api
net_rim_bb_lbs_int
net_rim_bb_lbs_res

Go here to see posting -> Remove BB Maps

The first 2 were there and I went through those and deleted them. I can't find the last 2. There are 2 called:

net_rim_lbs_internal_gps
net_rim_bb_lbs_resource_en

Are those them?

It asks me to restart after each deletion. Should I or should I delete them all and then restart?

Yes that is them

Deleting net_rim_bb_lbs and restarting actually deleted net_rim_bb_lbs_api as well. The others are still there but the app has gone..

Thanks

I had forgotten all about that even though I was the one who posted the fix... LOL.... Need more Life Support Juice (coffee) this AM.....

I updated the faq on this...

Glad it's gone for you now

I gave up coffee a few months ago (migraines) and only recently started feeling human again...

I just added some images.... Take a ganger and let me know if that is an easy enough walk through please

Download and install DM 4.2 SP1. That should fix the Vista issue.

Why is BBMaps called _lbs_....? LBS stands for "Location Based Services."
