Blackberry Maps Voice Navigation?

November 2011. Bump!

So what's the status of navigation on a BlackBerry. I need to get it working for my wife. I'm not very clued up on Blackberry.

She's on a Vodacom contract. Is there a still a free navigation option? Satnav? Something else?
 
... But then I google some more with the help of OC's link and found this resolution:

Sorry about that. I posted the link quick while on the phone and assumed the Blackberry 9780 would be on the vcd.navigator link. I did not open it to double check. Did you come right? Is it working on your phone? I know for a fact that Vodafone SatNav works on OS6 cause I had a Blackberry 9300 that I upgraded to OS6 and I used the SatNav a few times and worked pretty damn good.
 
Yes working fine. In the link in the link I posted it's installs the 9700 satnav on the 9780 but it works great.
 
mtn garmap mobile service

as far as i know mtn has discontinued the garmap navigation service for blackberry
 
I just bought Garmap; I reckon it's worth it.

There's AfriGIS, free - I couldn't get it to work, and Ubinav, which only worked on wi-fi (fat lot of good that is), and isn't free.
 
Yeah mtn discontinued the garmap which sux but you can buy it seperately at a fairly decent price for good software.
 
i see vodacom sat nav is not compatible with the bb 9810 on vodacom?
when using garmap does it use bis?
