i have just got a Pearl and i was trying to load Goolge maps on to it. It all seemed to load ok but when i try and run it, it sticks at a t&C page then gives me an unknown error and a fatal error message.
I have tried reloading the programe several times,i have switching my handset on & off a few times, i have had the battery in and out with the handset on etc but still no luck any ideas????????.

Wap needs to be set.


Otpions\Advanced\TCP
APN = wap.voicestream.com
user n passwd are blank.

does that apn work for all carriers? different carriers have different apns for network tunneling.

Nope, voicestream.com is only for TMO.

If you need other carriers settings do a search here, I think someones got a list of apn settings for every carrier.

right, was wondering cos i couldnt see the poster listing his carrier.

i get the same error btw. with the apn already set.

I notice sometimes I had to reset the phone when I change tcp settings for them to take. This was only on .64 OS though.

googlemaps just installed fine, the error may have been with googles servers.

My WAP field was blank when I installed Google Maps, and it ran fine.

are you on a bes server?

[actually, edit: i don't think the apn settings was ever the issue here. pretty sure the google server was just having a braindump]

hi guys,
this is my first post and im also a very new member of the blackberry community...

i have web n walk with my plan and wondering if there are any gps or mapping services in the uk that anyone knows about?

secondly and thirdly, could some forward links on what PIN messages are and how to change colours on the tmob pink colour scheme (whilst maintaining the bottom icon layout on the homescreen)
thanks in advance!

i though that google maps was supposed to give real time traffic?..everytime i search for directions i never ever see any traffic, also some ppl have mentioned they can zoom in as close as on google earth? i havent been able to ZOOM in THAT CLOSE only to street level? anyone any ideas

Traffic only works in some areas. Its listed somewhere on one of their pages.

The zooming in depends on the area of the world. Some places only have sparse satelite imagery (Eastern europe for example), others have more details satelite imagery (UK for example), and even low flying plane imagery (Mostly the US).

Test it out on google earth first for your area - its very configurable you can see exactly what kind of imagery its using - then test the same on google maps. The other person who told you they can zoom in further may be in a different area.

ok makes sense i guess.....im in Tampa, FL probably not available down here yet then

how do you zoom in on google maps on the pearl ????

Press 6 to zoom in and 4 to zoom out.

4 is out, 6 is in

edit:
you got me by a few seconds...

how about larger fonts - my eyes are going crazy reading that small direction list !!

Still cant get Google maps to install, i get the same T+C page fatal error others have got, but after 3days trying its still the same!

If you are stuck on the T&C you might need to reset the firewall. If the application is on your BB it will run. I don't have a Pearl so figure out how to get to options>advanced>applications. Find Google and use the trackball for menu options until you find the firewall and reset it. I am 99% sure that will work, but can't tell you exactly. Maybe MrKyoo will come to the rescue with exact instructions.

Question for all the smart people,

I just got the black berry pearl about a week ago, and this is my first post on this forum! First off let me say that this forum is packed with knowledge and I've already done a lot of customizing to my pearl thanks to this forum. Now, with that said, I have a problem and need help!

I loaded Google Maps on my BB but when ever i click on the icon to open it I get the following error:

"Error starting gmaps$d142$dm2_L1: Module 'gmaps $2d142 $2dm2_L1' has verification error 2870 at offset 4caa"

I've checked to make sure all the settings posted in this thread have been set up but still no luck. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Delete it and reload it to start. Maybe a corrupt DL. Let's rule that out first.

Yeah I already reloaded it twice. I get the same error everytime. What do you think I should try next?
