Quick Review: BlackBerry Traffic - My recent road trip

Posted by ObiGeorge on 2 Apr 2011 11:47 am
Recently I made a road trip down to Virginia Beach for a wedding. Usually I know the roads I am traveling quite well, but in this case the route was very foreign to me. I have never been a fan of carrier navigation apps (mainly because of the monthly price) and have just used Google Maps if I found myself in a bind. Luckily, when I purchased my Hummer last year, they threw in a free GPS unit (...

Review: amAze GPS for BlackBerry Smartphones

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 26 Jan 2010 7:30 am
Getting lost – some call it an adventure, others call it an annoyance. There’s even some who call it something that, due to the presence of younger readers, I’m not allowed to repeat. Whatever the case may be, you eventually (and obviously) want to reach your destination, right? I can think of quite a few times where I’ve been ill-prepared before I venture out to a friend’s new place, an...

GPSed: Map your impressions

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 27 Oct 2009 2:16 pm
Oh look, another postcard. It’s a cheesy, yet thoughtful way to share your global adventure with your friends or family. I don’t see them that often anymore, but they are fun to receive, aren’t they? There’s always a friend or relative out there, exploring the globe and discovering new places. These postcards are a window into their world, but they don’t truly capture it. The picture rarely...

GPSLogger - a Free BlackBerry App to Track your Movement

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 2 Jun 2009 9:29 am
Hopefully, you all know the story of Hansel and Gretel recorded by the Brothers Grimm. They were to be abandoned in the woods and their trail of breadcrumbs had been eaten by woodland creatures (jerks). Of course, everything had worked out in the end. If this fairy tale were to take place in the present, we may have seen a much different twist to this story. Perhaps they could have had...

Review: Trimble Outdoors Suite for BlackBerry

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 24 Sep 2008 10:37 am
I hate to say it, but it's official. Sigh, Summer time has come and gone again.  Pack up the sandals and sunscreen folks. But just because we have to say goodbye to the beach, doesn't mean we have to say goodbye to the outdoors! Trimble Outdoors has given me the opportunity to venture away from my desk and, blinking, begin an adventure outside. …huh, so THAT'S the Sun… Trimble Outdoors...

Review: GreenFinder for BlackBerry

Chances are, if you're a golfer you can appreciate that knowledge is power... Especially around the golf course. Knowing yardages to exact locations is invaluable, and can help lower your scores. Golfers will be well aware that there are other rangefinders out there (SkyCaddie is the big name) but for that, you're shelling out big bucks along with a monthly fee. GreenFinder is an app that...

Google Maps on BlackBerry

Posted by AllBlackBerry on 28 May 2007 12:25 am
I’ve been using google maps on my PC for a while now. Checking out satellite images of your neighborhood and house is way cool, and getting directions using the google interface is more intuitive than some of the other internet mapping sites. Until recently, I would just print out those directions and take them with me. But now I’ve discovered Google Maps for the BlackBerry. I installed it OTA...
