If you have the Freedom Keychain, try this: Turn on the puck, then WAIT till both orange and blue LEDs blink, THEN turn on Nav4All.

Review on AmAze

Decided to give the new 4.2 version a try for my 8830. Definitely an improvement over the previous SLOW version! I was pleased to see that it continuously updated the GPS positioning WITHOUT having...

Nav4All is my vote (so far!)

I decided that as a matter of principle I would NOT be supporting Verizon's crippling of the 8830's built-in GPS. So I bought the Keychain GPS puck (one time cost) and can now use any 3rd party...

I've tried Amaze and Nav4All. I lost patience with very SLOW loading times for Amaze and its non-Blackberry interface.
