Blackberry maps Maps route planning

Would it be possible to add a starting point (other than the one given by the gps) when planning a route in blackberry maps?
Thank you for your support

Here is one way to do it.
Search on the address or touch location on map. Tap to get place details. Tap 3 dot icon bottom right. Tap plan route. Tap the reverse route icon. Tap My Location. Enter search term or address.....
I don't see an easier way to do it.

Blackberry maps route

hello,
i use blackberry maps on my 8310 curve. if a choose route everything is fine until my route has nodes with special chars like äöü or ß in it like böhmissche straße or berlin-neukölln. these are correct in the xml-file (that i see if i use the simulator, extract see below)
// start of extract
_routeXMLstring=<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<location-document>
<route distance='842375' time='32103'>
<instruction x='1344945' y='5247355' a='3' i='14' d='43' n='Böhmische Straße' />
</route>
</location-document>
_routeXMLstring=<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<location-document>
// 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?
thank you very much for your answer.

Looking for a Mapping/Route Planning program for my Macbook Pro...

I use to use "Streets & Trips" on my PC. I am at a loss what is a good program for Apple.
Would appreciate any guidance. Thanks.

Previously, my Streets & Trips program came with a GPS antenna that I plugged in to my old laptop. I could then use my laptop as a supersized GPS, like a TomTom or Garmin.
Right. I am not familiar with Streets and Trips and the GPS device that came with it but I think that is specific to Microsoft. You can get a similar device that plugs into your Mac the same as the Streets and Trips Device plugged into your PC. The navigation software comes with it or you can download the software.
Use Google to find Mac compatible devices. I think CoPilot Live, TomTom, and Garmin have compatible devices. But I use my phone for navigation so am not 100% sure that each of those companies have Mac compatible navigation packages that are similar to Streets and Trips.

How do I create a Bing Maps route that stays on a U.S. Route number for tourism/scenic purposes?

How do I create a Bing Maps route that stays on a U.S. Route number for tourism/scenic purposes? I want to go from point a to point b while staying as much as possible on a US route number, such as US 6 or US 20 or US 101 or US 40, (and the defunct
US 66).
Instead of dragging points back to the road every time it pulls you onto a faster route, can I just say "use RT20 as much as possible?"
Or as simple as choosing a point on a US Route and selecting the entire length as a trip. The idea is to plan trips throughout the USA avoiding interstates, and staying on the actual original routes.
I am posting this here at request from Microsoft Support Engineer as a more complex request.

This is already on the feature request list from one other person. This would take a lot of work to implement from a technical side of things. given that only one other person has requested this, there isn't much of a business case for this yet.

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?
Also, In the future, please learn to create your own thread when you have your own personal issue to discuss... even if your issue might be "similar" the originally posted. yours is not the same, and posting in a existing thread like this just clutters the original posters thread.

Blackberry Maps doesn't work at all

HI, Blackberry Maps doesn't work. It doesn't Find my location. trying to get BB Maps to work on my Q10-nothing seems to work. On the BB Maps, when I enter the 2 locations for directions, I get the following message: "The beginning of your route is too far away from a road. Proceed to nearest road and try again. (3003)." The first time I got this I was ON a road, pulled over, trying to get directions. It has never worked. I do get the blue dot telling me where I am, so I think the GPS function is working. Someone could help me?

Hello,
Something sounds quite wrong...if you have already done the obvious things (reboot, updated OS, updated app, etc.), then I'd recommend you seek formal support. That is available by contacting your mobile service provider, your original place of purchase, or an authorized service center -- it varies by region and issue. Since it's a BB-developed app, you need this formal support, and only they have the power to escalate your case up to BlackBerry for their attention.
Good luck!

Blackberry Maps Deficiencies

I've tried to make use of Blackberry maps, as it is the only fee app that has navigation built in, but I find it very frustrating when trying to search, especially for locations near me. I'm in Ontario, and quite often auto-complete search results give me locations in the US, sometimes hundreds of kilometers away. Also often street names do not show up, rather route numbers are shown, for example, searc for McGill university, then view the map. When you zoom in , you only see route 138. I don't think anyone knows this is Sherbrooke street.

Hello,
Depending on your BB10 OS level, this could be a known bug that has been cured in later versions. I recommend you check your OS level and if you are not on 10.2.1.3247 that you immediately update to it via Sachesi:

Blackberry Maps Australia

Anyone know the release date for Blackberry Maps for Australia

Hi John
As a follow up, I got my Blackberry 8800 and have it working fine by swapping the SIM card from my existing Blackberry.
Under the Internet Browser option there is a link to applications and under this there is another link to Travel and Mapping. Here I found a programme called Amazegps. This has maps for Australia and says it is free. I have downloaded it onto the 8800 and it seems to be working so far. I have been able to locate my street and mark it as my starting point. I have yet to use it on a trip though but I will keep you posted how well it works.
Don't know if it uses any of my data allowance yet.
Incidently I went in to Optus today to upgrade my plan the the unlimited data plan and the guy told me to wail until Monday as there is a new plan out that might be better for my needs and is $10 per month cheaper
regards
David Jack

BlackBerry Z10 STL100-1 update Blackberry Maps 10.1.0.805 install failed

Software Release: 10.1.0.273
OS Version: 10.1.0.1720

1. Update for BlackBerry Maps downloaded but not installed. What may be the problem?
2. Maps are not available for Kazakhstan now. When do you plan to run the support of this country?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Recently there was a problem with an update of Maps. Maybe they haven't sorted yet. It would install and then crash. I always end up buying an after-market map system that runs on GPS using maps on board the SD card. Interesting, I'm going to Kazakhstan next month. How's the weather in September?

I would like to download again the BB maps on my smartphone but I am not able to find the way to do that. I went to http://it.blackberry.com/services/blackberrymobile.jsp but i am not able to find the way to download the BB maps. So I am seeking support on two things :

2)how to download again the maps application
Ciao and tks

ridere, Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?
You must, in order to get the BlackBerry Maps usage, and much more.
So, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
Good luck.

Google Map Route

I often use Google Maps to plan a route.
The problem I have noticed is that while the route does get plotted on the map, it is NOT drawn on the roads but rather offset a centimetre to the right.
Anyone else have this problem?
I find this very irritating as I cannot modify the route by click-draging it around.
My workround is to use Firefox...

hi all,
I am encountering to new problem. After deploy my app and run in portal, the redirect does not work. the error message is:
   com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException:

Hi,
It should be accessing :- http://<planning server>:8300/HyperionPlanning/help/en/hp_information_map/hp_information_map.html
Can you access that address on the machine hosting planning?

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.
