i had to have my device reset and i downloaded BB maps again but the maps is not showing (just diaganol lines) and its doesnt find any streets.

where are the maps loaded (BES Server?) and can someone give me an address (all the address) that works so i'll know if my device.

thanks thanks

Maps are located on (I would guess) on a RIM server somewhere since it's a RIM application.

If you're on a BES, your BB will connect (via HTTP, using the MDS Connection service on the BES) to RIM's servers for the map data.

The actual URL will vary, but if you're on HH OS 4.2.1 it seems to be "maps421.blackberry.com". Other URLs are used for e.g. points of interest.

If your BES or something between your BES and the Internet is preventing this access, you won't be able to see any maps.

Just a guess, but maybe your BES admin whitelisted the maps URLs and your "device reset" involved a handheld OS upgrade that meant that it was going to a different URL?
