But does ms maps work for europe (in particular italy) or not?

when i first installed this, it worked, first day with the gps, now i just gets an error over and over again gps cant be aqquired. i gave up maybe out of beta this will work better.

Any news about when microsoft decides to extend maps navigation in europe (italy expecially)?

Just wondering if people are having luck with Live search?? I see its still in Beta and have been reluctant to download it.

the upgrade is like putting icing on the cake!

new issue with this latest beta. try using the sound search. it will work fine for the first time, then if you try to use it again, the phone will say "searching for bluetooth" then i will lose sound even when making phone calls. I had to reset the phone to get it to work again.
running 4.5

It's one of my favorite apps on my bb...use it more than Google Maps. The menu-driven interface is very convenient, and it works fast. You don't need to wait, it's an open, wide beta and the program is very solid, never crashes or locks up or causes me any problems.

I just saw the post and gave this a try on my 8310 on AT&T. Great search and I don't live in a major or large city. If you try to download it, scroll past the windows mobile options then you'll see the options for blackberry. The maps aren't as great as google maps for black berry but the search is awesome!!

Is anyone else having problems with this? I've installed it and when I run it it attempts to download application data and gives me the "Sorry we can't download the application data. Please check your network connection". The only thing I can think of was I had installed it before my data plan was activated. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall since then but it still doesn't work. I've tried all the different connection settings too and none seem to work. Is this an issue with the 8330 or CDMA?

Is able to locate my location via GPS inside my house better than Google maps, though google maps probably uses triangulation when the signal strength(or # of sats) is below a certain amount.

Also, there should be a night mode like Microsoft's streets and trips.

Please let the forum know when its extended to include Canada.

It needs a favorites menu for sure. Also needs to do routes usin transit like google recently did. Can't belive there's no favorites considerin how much better everything is compared to google.

I wish it had transit directions like google does. If it did, id delete google maps for sure. After further use, I much prefer lives use of the contact book instead of googles favorite system.

I have a Curve with 4.5 os on AT&T and it seems to work ok - except

1. The Voice Command locked up the device.
2. Getting weather doesn't bring any information back for Hickory, NC - this is a decent sized town and should bring the info back. It just brings back a blank screen and nothing else.
3. The "save to address book" feature is great, but just very very slow - it takes over 25 seconds to save the address. I would use this a lot more if it didn't take so long.

Are there any fixes in the works for these issues??

Wow, after trying this unsuccessfully several times for whatever reason I decided to check the "Use only WiFi interface" checkbox, even though the 8330 doesn't have WiFi, and I was able to get past the error I was getting. So very strange.
I had gotten used to using Poynt as it does a lot of the same stuff and in some cases better. Plus it's a Canadian app so it seems to bring up stuff more relevant to me.

Regardless, just thought I'd share the workaround.
