Google Releases GPS Enabled Maps for Mobile on Verizon BlackBerry Storm

Humberto Saabedra

gmm-stormGoogle has released a new version of Maps for Mobile with the aforementioned functionality, but it only applies to the Storm and not the other models, due to Verizon’s refusal to approve transceiver access to other BlackBerry devices in the lineup despite having the same GPS hardware as the Storm.

The new version of Maps for Mobile also adds Latitude access for real-time geo-location.  The download is available now from this location.
