Not everybody knows but the GPS capabilities in recent BlackBerry devices are all courtesy of a Korean company called SiRF. This SiRF Star chipset is actually one of the most accurate on the market.

Nlusso.com has the details about another BlackBerry GPS tracking application simply called BlackBerryTracker.  The BlackBerryTracker application is free and it has a pretty simple idea. You install a program on your BlackBerry that automatically sends your location to the BlackBerryTracker.com website every 30–60 seconds. You can then login to the website and see were you are [...]

This is the first I have heard of the 8110 landing on North American shores. I was just reading a press release that Simon sent me about Rogers releasing the new 8110 GPS Pearl. The device did not interest me as much as the details that Rogers put in the press release.

I don’t really understand the details so I will just leave you with the [...]

SHAPE just released the beat of GPSed which is a spinoff application that allows you to save tracklogs that you can later map out on Google Earth. Currently the leader for tracklogs is MobileTracker but that costs $24 while GPSed is free.
You need to get a login by going to GPSed.com from your PC. You can [...]

Review: Neosistec CarFinder
Rating: 8.5/10
OTA Install: bb.Neosistec.com/carfinder
Version: 0.70 Beta
Josep just let me know about a new free application by Neosistec that uses GPS to help you find your car. The only caveat is that it requires GPS on your BlackBerry. It worked great on my BlackBerry 8310.
The software is a great idea and reminds me [...]

Navizon has followed the footsteps of Google Maps in rolling out cell tower based positioning in their new Navizon Lite product for BlackBerry.
