Great news has arrived for Verizon BlackBerry Storm users. Previously Verizon customers would not be able to use both the Storm’s GPS with Google’s Maps application. Well today Google released new version 3.0.2 and it brought GPS capabilities for everyone with a Storm. Bad news is it seems that Google has ONLY allowed it to work on the BlackBerry Storm and no other devices such as Pearl 8130 or Curve 8330. You can download it on your device by pointing the browser to http://m.google.com/maps.

So nice. Finally! Thanks Google!!!
Still bogus for us VZW Curve and Pearl users. The older versions used to work with an external GPS. It’s just plain VZW greed for us to use their VZNavigator software.
Does it really work with storm?
On my device it simply hangs on when I chose to start google maps. Installation was ok
It has worked on my 9530 Storm under OS 4.7.0.109, .113, and now .122. Check your application permissions maybe and make sure they are all set to “allow”. I would also try reinstalling it.
