Like the simple UI. Will give it a test run on results. Looks like traffic is easy enuff. |
Just downloaded the program and see two problems. First it only seems to work with BT GPS and second, searches seem to be based on major cities only.

To use GPS choose Enter New Location. Also it remembers recent locations. |
I get invalid cod 907 when i download with wifi browser or blackberry browser. Trying a soft reset to see if i can get it.

Nice clean app! Only one MAJOR flaw.... it doesn't find ANY of the 4 Starbucks in my town :-(
Of course, I already know where they all are (and they know me by name), but man, if it can't find a Starbucks.... I dunno if I can keep it.... ;-) EDIT: Oh sure, as soon as I complain about it, and try it again, it works. Sheesh! I do like this application, though. Any thoughts to being able to search Canada, too? |
On my 8700g, when viewing a map and pressing the alt+scroll it will not move sideways. I can only go up and down.

Thanks for the love, all! We're glad you like the app :)
For the few hiccups that folks are experiencing: Quote:
2.) You can select any city by hitting Menu>Enter New Location or selecting Near: Enter New Location... and entering the location of choice. Quote:

Thanks again! The Live Search for Mobile Team |
I like it. Dare I say like it better than Google Maps in it's current iteration?
|
Hey I like this app so far, very nice features.
I am using it today traveling around town, I'll report back. |
Installed it..initial impressions:
1. Using the directions feature - Why can't I just enter an address? I only get a choice of: Search Choose City Choose On Map And, if I do a search, having just entered an entire address in, and for whatever reason, there is no connection, it blanks out my last search. 2. Searching by category - "trade Shows, expositions, fairs" - I expected a sort of "whats going on around my town", instead I get companies who handle this category 3. On the map - where in the world do I enter a location? Zoom Aerial View (this is a nice option!) Show Traffic are my only options. That is all for now... Certainly looks promising. |
I have pulled my battery 5 times throughout the day. Tried all browsers.
Rebooted my bes server twice. MDS is functioning properly Running T-Mobile 8320 - 4.2.2.175 Quote:

Looks very cool! :) |
Its not working for me either. I get the same error code 907, tried it 3 times and did the battery pull too. No go! Any ideas?

The rest of the feedback is incredibly valuable. We'll try to fix some of them soon :) Quote:

Movies clearly better. Traffic easy. GPS worked great for me all day. Business finder - still testing. Loads Fast Great icon for home screen Directions - well like GMM but won't replace my Telenav anytime soon. |
For all of you using this hitting the trackball calls up zoom in maps. I like the zoom feature with the crosshairs.

Can we get a link to download the alx,cod so we can load it over desktop manager? |
ALT+Scroll still does not work, it does not appear to be my phone I am running the latest OS and it works fine in Maps and Google maps.
I experience this in Live Search when I use the Maps on any city I choose. |
