I am looking for a map software which can use BB’s GPS but will work w/o data plan – no internet, in case you are in the mountains and have no access to cell towers :)

Anybody know?? Maps on xd card w/ application??

Jonathan, you may have already found it but Google maps does give satellite imagery. Go to http://www.google.com/gmm

Does anyone know of any map applications featuring satellite view/imagery that are downloadable and compatible with the BlackBerry Storm (9500)?

I have been using a couple different mapping softwares with my BB 8310 lately and there is a definate difference.

The only free spoken turn-by-turn software I know of is amAze. It takes forever to load and moves hella slow but once you get the hang of it, it’s not so bad. Especially to be free. Give it a shot http://www.amazegps.com/index.php?page=countries

I like Blackberry Maps because of it’s simplicity but I wish it 1) Tracked your gps arrow and not just stayed put at the different directional points in your journey 2) stayed illuminated because it’s too difficult to drive and keep moving the track ball or whatever to make sure you can see where you are headed.

I’ve downloaded InfoSpace and, while it doesn’t give you voice guided prompts automatically as you reach each turn, it seems like it might be a good alternative. I’ll give it a try soon.

The telenav service (not free) is actually really awesome, and works well, with spoken directions – it’s basically a fully-functional gps nav solution – and you can navigate not only to addresses, but airports, intersections, and businesses.

Also, doesn’t beyond411 have a map it function?

The mapping in InfoSpace Find It! isn’t bad either, and free. Plus it gives spoken turn by turn direction.
