Advanced Users: Possible Solution For Google Maps On Storm & CDMA Devices

NOTE I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE IF YOU TRY THIS OUT! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Sadly I do not have a CDMA device like the Storm or 8330 to test this out on. Scott let me know that there is an interesting thread going on HowardForums detailing ways to get around the AGPS restrictions on TELUS and other carriers. What I mean is that until now users would have to start up BBMaps and wait for a GPS lock and then close that app and quickly fire up Google Maps to get it to work. Now it looks like there may be light at the end of the tunnel…

Using a combination of QPST, UNIcdma, & Hexworkshop users are reporting some success in fixing the GPS issue that is stopping you from using Google Maps on your BlackBerry. This is definitely not an elegant solution so you might just want to leave it to the experts until details are hashed out…

Definitely worth checking out this thread if you like to live on the wild side and want Google Maps GPS to work on your CDMA BlackBerry.
