i'm on the rogers network and i dont wanna pay 7 bucks a month for somethign i'll barely use. i downloaded amazgps or whatever it is and it is installed. is there a way to get this working without paying?

Move to more appropriate forum.

You need a BB data plan for most of the map applications since map data is generally downloaded as you move, not stored on the device.

What is or is not working?

its working. i just want to get free gps thats all. i dont feel like paying 7 bucks a month if i can get a dedicated gps for 90 bucks

GPS is free. Its the apps that cost money. Check the sticky at the top of this section for reviews of most of the map apps.

Only if you can provide more details. There could be any number of reasons why it isn't working for you. What are you trying and what exactly happens? Do you have a BB data plan?

Could you get BB Maps to work?

AmazeGPS is free. After you pay for your GPS unit (onboard or external), there are no other fees. I use it all the time.

Interesting. With BB Maps and Google Maps on the newer devices its free for evrything

I use Amaze and Google Maps on my 8310. All I pay for is the data plan through AT&T. Use of the app and use of my GPS are free. Amaze is a wonderful free voice by turn direction app.

ooo so u do have to get the data plan eh... i have one through rogers but it doesnt cover the gps. its an extra 7 bucks. this sux guess i wont be getting gps haha

the closest thing to free i've found is google maps, it's good to the nearest tower.
