Does someone have the SatNav URL to download the application for the Bold 9780?!?

I URL I followed (http://vdc.navigator.telmap.com/vdc) mentions every Blackberry model except the Bold 9780 and doesn't display the download link.

That's the correct URL, only shows a download link if your device is supported. Strange yours should be supported, but it is possible that vodacom has not included satnav as a free addon for that model. Personally i don't own 1 so i cannot say, to the best if my knowledge that is the only place to get it from. Worked for me when i had my 9300.

If not the only alternative i know of is Garmin and it was about R300 for 1 year, maybe a little less. My suggestion would be to call vodacom and confirm that satnav is a bundled include with your handset, or better yet go to the store you got it from they will most likely know better, a friend works for cellucity i will contact them to see if they know and get back to you.
 
Ok just heard back, it def does come with satnav but she cant help much with a dl link
 
There's another free version directly from Telmap - the Satnav (a rebranded version of Telmap) does not load onto the 9780

What I can suggest though is that you download Garmap Mobile and pay for a subscription. I ended up doing this and it works like a charm. It only cost me about R700 for 2 years of access to Garmin, updates, live traffic etc. The Free Telmap does work well too but personally I prefer the Garmap. www.garmapmobile.co.za

I had the same problem with that link trying to sort out the SATNAV on my wife's 9780.

Luckily the link in the quoted post below links directly to the file for the BB 9700, and it works perfectly - THANKS stevovo :D

Yip I tried the link you quote and it works perfectly. Now I have Satnav and Garmap .... now I can let them fight about which way to go :D
 
OT, another forumite said the other day that I must be one of the oldest serving peeps here, but Zarathustra beats me - AUG 2003 (might have joined even before RPM :D )
 
Yesh CodeMashter, Zarathustra has indeed been around for some time now...Started off with ADSL Q & A many moons ago...Doesn't have bazillions of posts...Prefers to stay with good quality crap :)
 
Hi Guys
I have a query.Didn't want to make a new thread.
I have a BB 9300 (Vodacom Phone) but I use a MTN Contract sim in it.I used the 30 day trial period for Garmap which is now over.
My question is do I use the Vodacom SatNav or the MTN one?
Also will i be charged if i use Vodacom SatNav on MTN and vise versa?
Thanks in advance.
 
-SatNav (rebranded Telmap) will only work on Vodacom's network
-Garmap (issued by MTN) will only work on their network
-You can purchase GarmapMobile directly from GarminSA and pay for a subscription and you can use it on any network
-There is also a Telmap User Beta group if you join and are accepted you can get Telmap 5 for Free - http://global.telmap.com/tugpcbeta/
