I've been tinkering around this morning with my BB and remembered that the new version OS 4.3 is supposed to have an updated maps version so I decided to check the individual version that can be downloaded from the BB website.

Yay!! It has local search on it. I got so excited I came straight here to post that I haven't had a chance to see what else is new on it. But an initial search for pizza was a success with the local pizza joints and their info on my curve.

Forgive me if this is old news but I did a search and found no topics announcing this.

Here it is BlackBerry - BlackBerry Maps

Enjoy!!

Very cool. I just upgraded to the 8800 and haven't had a chance to play with all the new features. Just tried the local search on BB Maps and it worked wonderfully. I live in a very new neighborhood area and was surprised it picked up small-time pizza places nearby.

Yes it seems to do very well for me also, it could still stand a few more options, but hey it's a step in the right direction.
