Google Maps GPS For BB
Google Maps has been updated to include BT GPS for the Blackberry (amongst some others) so I can now use my 8100 Pearl as a Sat Nav

How does that work? I've got a 8100 Pearl and has Google Maps on it but the Pearl doesn't have GPS built in. Does it work via mobile phone location in the cell?
Do you use a seperate bluetooth GPS receiver?
I couldn't see the list of supported carriers on the site - do you know if Vodafone support it on the Pearl (with GPS)?
Cheers

goto google.com/gmm on your Pearl browser and d/load the app - it will ask to overwrite your existing one, accept.
Get a bluetooth GPS and pair it through Set Up Bluetooth
Then go into GMs and there is a new menu item - Bluetooth GPS
Select that and connect to serial.
Do this outside and it should all work!

Thanks 
So GPS reciever needed. The Pearl 8130 looks like it has GPS built in so that will be cool. My mate just got a Curve with built-in GPS and it's a sweet bit of kit.
