The BB Maps download from knology.net works, but the app is so slow on my 8800 it's unusable. The map data downloads a lot slower than Google Maps on the 8700, and seems a little faster when the GPS gets turned off. I'll wait for the "real" BB Maps release and perhaps keep fingers crossed for a Google Maps that has GPS support. Paying Telenav seems silly.
On a positive note, I've never seen a handheld GPS sync up so quickly as the 8800. Near a window on the top floor of my house (crappy line of site) it had a 12m accurate position in about 10 seconds.
