Using the inbuilt GPS functionality of the BlackBerry Curve 8310
Combine the GPS receiver feature with the BlackBerry Maps™ service to show your current location and access international route planning information.
You can enhance the GPS capability of your BlackBerry Curve 8310 smartphone* with full turn-by-turn navigation and spoken directions to use while driving or walking with a service provided by one of O2's partners - Telmap. The Telmap® Navigator service provides you with clear moving maps and well timed voice instructions. And don't worry if you miss a turn - Telmap Navigator instantly adjusts and continues to guide you without needing to recalculate your route.
How much is the Telmap Navigator service?
For UK & Ireland coverage the subscription to the Telmap Navigator service costs £4.99 inc VAT (£4.25 exc VAT) per month or £39.99 inc VAT (£34.03 exc VAT) per year.
Business customers can purchase from O2 a BlackBerry Curve 8310 preinstalled with Telmap Navigator. This preinstalled application comes with a free 24 month license with maps of the UK and Ireland.
Charges from O2 for downloading routing information vary depending on your BlackBerry from O2 tariff. If you have a BlackBerry tariff that charges you a monthly line rental (BlackBerry Internet Solution on O2 Unlimited** or BlackBerry Enterprise Solution) all your UK Telmap usage is built into your monthly charge and there are no additional data usage charges for using the Telmap Navigator service. If you are using BlackBerry Internet Solution on the O2 Pay as You Use tariff, navigation downloads are chargeable at £2.70 inc VAT (£2.30 exc VAT) per MB and we don't recommend using Telmap Navigator on this tariff.
* If you are using the BlackBerry Curve 8310 with BlackBerry Enterprise Solution the automatic device password lock activates when GPS software is running and this stops your navigation service. An IT policy to disable the password lock when GPS services are running is available to BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) administrators via BES 4.1 software service pack 4.
Telmap is not pre-installed on the Red Curve. This can be purchased direct from Telmap.
