How to Enable BlackBerry Maps
BlackBerry Maps is a way for you to easily use your GPS-enabled phone. With Maps, you can plan a trip or route, sends different maps through your email to your friends or even bookmark your favorite maps to always have them a touch away. If you have BlackBerry Device Software 4.2 or later (see Tips), you can simply click on "Maps" from your BlackBerry Home screen to get started. However, if you have an earlier version of the Device Software, you'll need to first download Maps to enable it on your phone.
