Earthcomber Lets You Know Whats Nearby
BlackBerryInsight just got wind of an interesting new free GPS application for BlackBerry devices. The developers claim the application, Earthcomber, turns an ordinary cell phone into a personal radar.
It’s the free way to find all the things you care about nearby – instead of tapping, tapping, tapping in a search box. You can use Earthcomber as-is, anonymously, to find the most popular things in the most common situations. But, you can also personalize Earthcomber to look for the special things and people you like, wherever you go in the US.
Check out the Earthcomber website to get a free copy of the application

I noticed you have an image of the skinnies - Earthcomber’s BB download page says the version for those 3-way keyed models is yet to come.
Right now, it’s downloadable for the 8800’s, 8300’s, 8700’s (Curve, NOT Pearl). Otherwise, you just gotta use the WAP version.
God, if you have any of the wide ones, this is both addictive AND useful. So you can rationalize your obsession, he he…

Yeah I know to be honest I was not setup to do screenshots when I posted that. The picture of the 8100 pearl running earthcomber was from the earthcomber website so I am sure they will be rolling out support soon

OK, now it’s official: Earthcomber DOES have a dedicated Pearl download. Really nice, really fast, and it’s just amazing the number of places it pops for you.
HOWEVER, they should tell people to scoot to the “Spot Things” tab in the middle, where all those lists are!! The main screen is really a status or alerts screen. HELLO - don’t you have to look for some favorites before it knows what to keep looking for? Once you do, though, it’s really cool just update where you’re standing and see all the stuff.
