BlackBerry Maps "Ignores" Some Addresses

On my Verizon BB Curve 8330, BB Maps cannot 'find' many of my contact addresses even though Google Maps *can*. When I try to get directions from my current location to one of these addresses, Maps 'searches' for the contact. However, rather than posting an error message (like "cannot find site"), it simply reverts back to the screen asking me to "Select End Location" again--as if I never did that step. I'm running BB 4.5.0 Core Applications, which seems to be current since the BB Desktop Manager never finds anything when I tell it to "check for updates". Is this a bug for which there is a known workaround? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

First, do a simple reboot on your device > With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
Then, let's refresh the GPS:
On all model BlackBerrys, first make certain that you in an area of good signal coverage AND outside with a clear view of the sky in an open area of no tall buildings.
For GSM network devices, do this:
Click Options > Advanced > GPS > Menu > Refresh GPS.
Give it up to 10 minutes to refresh, and try 2-3 times in a row.

// end of extract
... but are not correct dsiplayed on the display of the device where
straße becomes stra?e and
Böhmische B?hmische.
is there a point are an interface to intrude something like utfdecode or some other string-methode to correct this?

But I can't find it anywhere else on my phone. So, I decided to also uninstalled the blackberry maps in my device, in hope I can download and install a new one. But, until now, I had download the app thousands of times, but it's still didn't work. Anyone here can help me ? I'm using BlackBerry Storm 2 9520, with os version 5.0. Please help. Thanks.

Urgent question about blackberry maps

Hello All,
I need help in Blackberry maps, If I click on the blackberry map anywhere, can we get the coordinates for the clicked position? Also can we get the geolocation information(street name etc) for the clicked position programmatically?
Kindly let me know the answer to this, its very urgent.
Thanks and regards,

Actually what we are doing is converting Oracle Forms code into java code and i cannot open and change the code that is being called by the User_Exit built-in.
So i want to know is how i can still keep the same functionality, without changing the Pro*C code into java, or some other native code.Since what you have in hand is an user exit I dont think you can use it straight away from Java Forms unless you do not have any Form specific things.
In User exits we can do thigns like getting and putting values from/to oracle forms items and there are also provision to pass error and other related information between the forms and user exits.
this is actually accomplished by having some internal API's ( these are invoked by the user_exit builtin in Forms) in Oracle Forms. And this is predefined and there is nothing much to know how this functionality works. And Oracle itself does not support User exits( if there is any interaction with Form) in Oracle Web Forms. And user exit has many Oracle specific libraries linked to it during compilation.
Knowing this you should first know whether your user exit is Oracle Forms Dependent. If it is I think you dont have much options than rewriting your user exit.
On the other hand if it does not , then I think you can easily get rid of the error and other handling information( if present in the user exit )and recompile it as a standalone Pro*C executable and the call it natively since it is noting but a C program in the compiled state.
OK but regarding the connection you have to go back to Java and ask whether there is way to pass a conection context to a native C program( dont mention Proc or Oracle Forms here)
So start finding whether your exit is Oracle Forms dependent. If not you can take it easy except for the connection thing which I am not . But if it is dependent then I think u have to start rewriting.
Good Luck

Blackberry Maps & UK Post Codes

I'm struggling to make the most of Blackberry Maps on my 8520.
When I try to search for an address using a post code, it only recognises the first 4 or 5 characters depending on whether its a 6 or 7 figure post-code. So when I try to put in my home address it locates a place 3 miles away from where I actually live.
When i try to enter town and county I keep getting a message saying they are not recognised.
I have only managed to save my location by manually finding it on the map.
Any advice please - and is there a Blackberry Maps instruction manual anywhere??

Blackberry Maps for 8900 Curve

Hello,
I am having trouble getting the BB Maps to work. After downloading the file from BB site When I finally got the icon on the device and I try to launch it I get the message:
"Error starting net_rim_bb_lbs: Module 'net_rim_bb_lbs' does not match codfile timestamp of sibling module 'net_rim_bb_lbs-1'"
Some Information about the system:
I do have a data plan
I have 2 instances of the BlackBerry Maps in the applications list (lbs1.2 and 4.6.1)
I do have the service book for BBMaps (BlackBerry Maps - EU [LbsConfig])
I am using DM 4.7
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the BBMaps application with the DM a few times. Always with the same message as above.
Help me find my way!
Thanks
Shawn

Tm2022, AT&T disables the BBMaps icon.
Try this trick I found:
Go to Options > Screen/Keyboard > either Right or Left convenience key.
Now select right or left and set that to BlackBerry Maps. Do you have that choice?

You can safely ignore some errors that fsck reports....?

I got the following report while Verifying in DU after installing the latest Security Update 2009-001. I took every possible precaution: installed in Safe Boot from standalone download, repaired Permissions before and after, disconnected all peripherals and stood on my head.
I repaired successfully, booted from the Disc. DU, while booted from the disc, saw the error too, so I know it wasn't a spurious error appearing only when booted from the HD. I'm wondering if there's anything here to be concerned about. I have never before had DU report the disc needed repair.
(I also repaired a Permissions error while booted in Safe Mode, before doing any of this. This was strange, since I'd just done a Permissions repair only a few days earlier for the QT Update. I won't get into that now, since I my main concern is the Disc error, and I don't want to overload this post with too many questions).

Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
Both the Pogue, Missing Manual, Tiger, book and this KB article, report "Volume Bit Map needs minor repair" and "Invalid volume free block count " as "benign" errors, to be ignored.
"You can safely ignore some errors that fsck reports when journaling is enabled."
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2028
I've been looking into this on my own, but here's the source of my confusion: 1. The heading of the KB article says it is for 10.3.9 or earlier (the article was last modified August, 2008), but way down at the bottom, 10.4 is listed under "Products Affected." Is this just someone at Apple being sloppy? 2. Both the Pogue Tiger book p.778, and the KB article describe this as an error that can be reported while repairing using fsck. They don't mention errors reported by DU, which is how I got this error. But just to be certain, can I safely assume it would apply to errors reported by DU as well? They are, effectively, the same thing, aren't they?
No strange sounds coming from the HD and everything seems to be fine. And no more reports of this kind coming from DU.

OK. Thanks very much,
My question arose because both the KB article and Pogue discuss these errors only in the context of running fsck. Since you say journaling is automatically turned off when DU does repairs, _does that, then, mean that these errors are only spurious when coming from fsck, not DU, because journaling is enabled in fsck? Journaling enabled is what causes them to appear in fsck?_ Is this why there's no mention of DU for these errors from the Apple KB article and Pogue? And does that mean that *if DU reports them, not fsck,* they are to be taken more seriously, that they are benign, meaning not very serious, but not to be dismissed completely as when they are reported by fsck?
Yes, the errors are benign, but should not be ignored.
I thought the KB article and Pogue were letting me off the hook completely. I see that's, maybe, not exactly the case.
*I never ran fsck.* I did everything from DU, either booted from the HD or the Tiger Installer disc. Fsck only came up because I discovered this KB article and the Pogue excerpt, which made me think that, since fsck is essentially DU, but run from a command line, they applied as well to the errors DU found. I didn't realize that, maybe, journaling enabled in fsck was at the heart of this issue.
As mentioned, I ran DU from the Tiger Installer disc and it repaired the error right away on the first run. I ran it twice just to be sure.
If DU ran successfully but did not repair the problem, then run Repair Disk repeatedly until no problems are reported.
There was no other problem, only the error DU reported, which was successfully repaired.
DU is supposed to disable journaling before repairing the drive. But there's nothing wrong with disabling journaling manually before repairing the drive.
Meaning I can't always assume it will? And, perhaps, it didn't this time and that's why I got the error?
Everything seems fine now; I was just somewhat alarmed, since I didn't understand where this could be coming from. I'd already verified the disc, booted from my clone, very recently.

Blackberry maps and LBS

I was trying to get Blackberry maps working but I could not see an icon. It did show as an application in the wrench advanced/applications as BBmaps 4.7 but I was never able to find the icon. I read a post that said to reinstall so I deleted it. When I load up Desktop Manager 5.0 I do not see an option to add BB maps so I dug some more. i found a document on Blackberrys support that said to delete BB maps i need to remove LBS so I did this. Now when I goto application loader I do not even see LBS or Blackberry maps. When I click browse I do not find any loader files either. I am wondering how I get LBS and Blackberry Maps working. I have Google maps but the locations on it are off by a couple blocks and I am interested if BB maps is better than that. Any help would be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Alright I found the answer before someone could respond. I needed to download and install the BB OS (in my case 4.7.1.77 for Bell). Then I was able to reinstall Blackberry Maps which is also LBS ( I Believe). Now I have the compass icon that should have been there all along. Hopefully this thread can help someone else.

Problem loading BlackBerry maps

Hi.
I've only just bought my 8800 and it's driving me crazy. It was supposed to be loaded with the maps, but wasn't. I tried downloading them from the BB website, but got the message that no BlackBerry device was found. This was despite the desktop manager telling me that I was connected. After trying different USB ports on the computer and still getting no success, I tried the same thing on my laptop. I again received the same message that no BlackBerry device could be found, even though the desktop manager was again telling me that I was connected.
What do I do? Please help.

Hi,
The Blackberry Maps program only works in certain countries - other countries just show a blank "green/grey" screen. if you zoom out to max you can se the map of the world...
To download maps, you need to have a Working Blackberry Data connection.
Do you get emails to the handset using BIS or BES?

BlackBerry Maps on Torch 9810

I just upgraded from a Torch 9800 to Torch 9810. When I open BlackBerry Maps I shows my current location but the BB button the return key don't do anything. On the touch screen the search and Get directions don't do anything either. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it using BB Desktop and it is the same no change. The only thing I can do is press hang up to get out of the app. But the app stays active. I can see it on switch applications and there is no way to close it.
Has anyone else had this problem?

I'm not sure if that's a common problem or not but because it's obviously a software glitch, you should try a battery pull if you haven't already. Battery pulls are recommended quite often in these forums because they do wonders at solving many minor issues. So with your phone powered on, go ahead and remove your battery. You can then put it back in a few seconds later.
Let us know if that helps you.

An Update for BlackBerry Maps is Seriously Overdue

I've been with BlackBerry 10 since day one with the Z10 and I've noticed that the BlackBerry Maps app never really gets any love. This is a bare bones app that has still not gotten the update it needs and I believe many of us feels it is time.
It seriously needs public transit directions and schedule updates and incorporating nearby POI when asked (much in line with what the BlackBerry Assistant does). I'm personally not a person who drives and prefers transit and I find this really frustrating not to have such a great feature built into this app.
The option to view in satellite and and a hybrid of the satellite and standard map view is also important.
Performance updates is needed as it is taking longer than usual for the app to load due to 10.3.1.
Please update the app soon if you want to attract more users.

I've used BeMaps Pro, Google Maps and Blackberry Maps in tandem at one point, but I just don't get why Blackberry doesn't do what Apple did for iOS, Nokia with Windows Phone and Google for Android. It's a native app and a no-brainer that should come standard on any smartphone eco-system!
It shouldn't be hard to provide an update these days, I mean, Blackberry should be able to figure it out why it hasn't been able to attract more new users and actually RETAIN them.
I get the fact that the bottom line for Blackberry is corporate base and security, but to really get them locked in, the native experience is really what matters the most. A user shouldn't need to rely on several apps just to do one thing. I'd say re-invest in TAT and Blackberry World, make it attractive and maybe even make it into a cash cow too.
I find Blackberry Maps more reliable than Google Maps, but am hesitant to say 100% simply because Blackberry Maps feels like Google Maps lite and so does other apps. I don't want to sound like a whiny fan, but please, the phone is supposed to make your life easier, not harder.
