cant get blackberry maps to work on my blackberry 8800.
Just get the diagonal green lines and no downloads for map
Spoke to Orange and they say they are not supporting it
They said they only support there own mapping software
Is there any way to fix this on the blackberry

8800 on Orange UK... BB Maps downloaded from RIM works no problems

I'm on T-Mobile and can't get more than diagonal lines either...

I read on another forum that one has to ring up and confirm that the BB service has been set up properly. I did this and it hasn't helped yet...

I also downloaded Google Maps Google Maps and, once you have set the data access permissions, it works fine.

needed "orangeinternet" in the tcp setting to make them work

If you really want to use some mapping doftware on a BlackBerry then BlackBerry Maps is not the best. I'd take a look at TelMap.

I am also on Orange Blackberry. I would not bother with Blackberry maps as I am also unable to get it working but use Google Maps instead.

If you are a real saddo (like me) you can set the maps up and the go walkabout and watch yourself moving on the map.

It eats battery power though so I switch the application off when not in use.

If you mean BB Maps, you might want to make sure you have your APN set:

Options -> Advanced Options -> TCP -> APN.

Hi,

This is my first post on this forum so I apologise in advance if I 'jump in' too hard.

I found this thread via a Google search as I was having the same problems with BlackBerry Maps on Orange UK but following the advice re TCP, I set my APN as 'orangeinternet' and turned of my wi-fi connection and now have access to actual maps rather than the dreaded diagonal lines.

I only hope this helps someone else.
