Google Maps on Blackberry



Blackberry and PC in the back are displaying the same street view(somewhere outside Google's headquarter at Mountain View, CA). To enable this, you need to have some data plan(GPRS) with the service provider and download the app. to your blackberry, and also configure your APN to "cmnet"(not cmwap, but cmnet!) if China Mobile is providing the service, leave it blank if it's China Unicom. For a typical satellite image on blackberry, google maps would eat about 500kb to 1mb data flows. So large data plan is always better!
