Tried both the latest 1.61 and an earlier 1.5 version and both fail with connection errors. v1.61 gets to '4' and then fails with error 'Network failure'.

T-Mobile UK couldn't suggest a solution and applying the fixes suggested on Google Maps Support such as ensuring the app has full permissions and deleting "IPPP for 5 Click (IPPP)" in Service Book has not resolved the issue.

Has anyone succeeded in resolving this?

And now it's working! After three days of searching for this issue and solutions it starts working 5 mins after I post here!

That is the magic and power of posting on the BlackBerry Forums!!!

Griiffog, could you explain how you overcame the problem, i am on T-Mobile UK and the same problem, gets to 4 and stops.
Thanks.

I followed the suggestions at Google here but they did not appear to make any difference.

I launched the app to get the exact error before posting this plea for help and initially it failed at '4' as usual with the "Network Failure" error. I then relaunched and voila, the was app now working, very bizarre!

I wish I knew what (if anything) I did was the solution. Now all I need to do is get Opera Mini working.
