<DIV><SPAN class=953243214-26022008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have
had a Blackberry (crackberry) Curve for about three months now and yes I
have been accused of being a "Crack' Addict. Mine did come with a
GPS application but to use it you had to subscribe ($$) and since I have a
turn by turn GPS I didn't see the need to buy it.

have GPS enabled mapping. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Go! is really neat and has lots of features. I didn't install the new
Beta version as I heard it was not as good. Google mobile updater lets you
install several cool tools... including Google maps and Goggle Docs. With
both the yahoo Go maps and the Google Maps you can get your current location and
it shows up as a blue "blip" on the screen. You can use the satellite view
as well as the streets. Your current location does update real time
also. As you drive the blip changes to show where you are. It is
pretty accurate even inside some buildings. It is pretty cool to be in a
restaurant and it shows your location to even the section of the building you
are in. It is good to search from the maps because it does plot what you
are searching for on the map and you can get driving directions to addresses
etc. I used it once to find a friend's house when I left my gps at home
and it took me right to his house. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=953243214-26022008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Also Google Docs is a neat application that lets you store Word,
Excel and PowerPoint files on the Google server to retrieve and view on your
Blackberry... helping me to overcome one of the big disadvantages of the
Blackberry... no local file storage! Storing them on Google Docs at least
lets me access them for reference it just takes a little longer to pull them
down than it would if they were stored locally, and if I get out of coverage
they are not available. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

am getting a Blackberry that has GPS ability. It says it can give turn
by turn directions as you drive. Does anyone have one of these?
Does it work as a GPS? Anything besides directions? It is an 8830,
if that makes a difference. Also, it is my first Blackberry – anything
special I need to know.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
