Free turn-by-turn sat nav for UK BlackBerry users with traffic, cameras and a slice of social media thrown in for good measure

Posted by James Richardson on 7 Nov 2012 6:24 am
Remember when we reviewed Telmap for BlackBerry smartphones? Well, the same devs have come up with another alternative but this time with built in traffic, maps and speed cameras - all for free! You will however require a touch screen BlackBerry for this particular application. M8 is a free all-in-one mobile application that combines next generation navigation technology, local content and...

Both free and premium options with Wisepilot for BlackBerry smartphones

Posted by James Richardson on 30 Sep 2012 12:45 pm
Wisepilot is the third voice guided satellite navigation application I have reviewed here at CrackBerry in the last few months. Both Telmap and Gokivo were great apps and were free however there are a few things that set Wisepilot apart. Although a free download, you initially only get a free trial for five days and then you have a couple of options. You can either continue using the free...

Gokivo - new free voice guided navigation app for BlackBerry smartphones

Posted by James Richardson on 17 Jul 2012 9:51 am
Another free voice guided navigation app has arrived for BlackBerry smartphones. It goes by the name of Gokivo and seems to tick all the boxes. Like a few similar applications, Gokivo doesn't store the maps on your BlackBerry but instead downloads each route as you need it. I took the app for a drive last night and it performed just like it should. With a nice choice of colors on screen it...

How good is Telmap Navigator, the free voice guided sat nav app for UK BlackBerry users?

Posted by James Richardson on 17 Jun 2012 4:29 pm
I have used dozens of sat nav apps over the years on smartphones but have never found a great one for BlackBerry, until now! Taking all the others into consideration there are two main things I look for when deciding if the app is for me or not. The first is ease of use and the second is how aesthetic it is. Maybe the latter of the two is not as important for everyone but I'm kind of fussy and...

RIM partners with TomTom for real-time traffic data and mapping

Posted by Adam Zeis on 8 May 2012 9:32 am
RIM has announced today a partnership with the well known mapping and navigation company, TomTom. TomTom offers real-time mapping, navigation and traffic data and will now power the popular BlackBerry Traffic application. This is a sure sign of good things to come on the navigation front for BlackBerry 10, and I for one can't wait to see what's in store. Press Release NEW ORLEANS--(...

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 (...
