I just activated my 8830 from Sprint and have successfully loaded the Opera Mini and Gmail App to my 8830 using the link cable and PocketMac. I downloaded the folder "gmm_200_bb_enter" which has the google maps cods and alx files in it but I keep getting a "Unable to locate one or more files required by this installer" message when I try to install it. I don't have BBPV yet just regular PV. Any suggestions?

I can't dl OTA yet because I don't have Blackberry data just regular data. Is there a way to do it with the link cable?

It was my understanding that Google maps required a data plan and I am only aware of attaining it OTA.

In order to use GoogleMaps and/or BB Maps, you must have a BB data plan. OTA is the only way to get it to your device, plus the maps constantly download as you move, not stored on the device or SD card.

I don't think people are reading the OP's question or know a whole lot about non-OTA installs:
Installing something through desktop manager does not mean you can't use the program on the internet if you don't have BIS. If you have a regular data plan, you can still use the app.

I'm on Sprint SERO but no BIS. I have Gmail, GoogleMaps, and OperaMini installed. They all access the internet fine. GoogleMaps does not store "on the device or SD card." It pulls maps just fine with any data connection (whether BIS or not).

For non-OTA USB cable installs, use desktop manager with these files (ALX/COD included):
