BB Maps Users - Can't find Country
 

Looking for confirmation that Map From Address Book doesn't work unless you have Country - US or Canada specified in your Address Work. It won't find the location.

If that is true it's a silly limitation once you have a city and state.

It wouldn't find any of my addresses until I added USA. After that it found about 30% of them.

So that's why it wasn't working! Added US and now it works!

My US addresses from Cali to NC worked fine after entering USA. Haven't had any luck with my Canadian addresses. Thx for the tip Stinsonddog.

Thanks for the tip!

I have updated my GPS page with this, and also noted the developments in Telenav from 4.4 to 4.7 to 5.0 versions.

4.7 for the 8700??

Nope 4.4 is all I seem to get.


TeleNav Telnav OTA link

It was just the page that I updated.

BB maps offer multiple countrys. maybe thats why you have to insert the country. Needs more than a state and city

BB maps only has N American coverage..they will be going to europe soon..anyone know of any programs that can give me coverage in the Carribean and or Europe right now?

by asking for the country now they wont have to force many changes in older versions of the download if any.

Not buying it. If the city, state or zip is found, it shouldn't require the country.

Some of the countries have state and zip. State and zip fields are not U.S. specific thou.

I wonder if the BB Map first looks up the country and cross check the state and zip. If the country is Taiwan, for an example, the map program does not even bother to check with the Zip code.

just my 2 cents.

Google maps for BB. Just tried it for Europe and it has coverage of the area I tried (Denmark). The directions even worked.

Great, now we out sourced Zip codes

There are a couple of things that are appealing (after a fashion) about BBMaps, but by and large the 'suck factor' is very high.

I heard that telenave will release an update next week for the 8700 (now that Cingular released the update) it is upposed to rid off the occasional reboot which many have experienced.

and hopefully add 3d maps...


also, another poster mentioned Google maps works in Europe..I tried my Google maps mobile (bb app) and sure enough..It did work. Although, it's still lacking the GPS function...

Of course, since it only works in the US and Canada now.

Wonder how one knows that they have done that - I guess these forums.

Also, going to 5.0 has some really important feature upgrades. I hope its not just 4.7.

No he said it would be the updated fo the 4.4 and will not yet have the 3D so my guess is that it will be the 4.7.

By the way his reomendation, when the upgrade is released one is to completely remove the old telenav and then get the new release installed via OTA.

The last word I said to him, they need to make it also the moving map without guidance and it seems that there are no plans for that.

They need to add the moving map with car and they also need to add the ability to see the route list step by step...

So true. What I would like to see is a combo of what they have and the BB Maps. I tired way finder and it gave me a lot of problems recognizing the addresses, it was very picky tehn it stated to freez up and did it for 3 days in a row (unisalled and re-installed works then freezes up) so now it is completely off. Stinson's review was magnificent. Now i just wonder when will some one come out with the perfect combo, Telenave, BB maps and GMAPS. that would be the way to go.

I wonder if BB maps would offer maps for Asia countries in the future.
