Globalsat BT-359 with Blackberry Curve is anyone using this device with a Blackberry Curve and Blackberry Maps? My Curve is a T-Mobile BB Curve 8320

It works with just about any mapping program you can find for the Blackberry... Google Maps, Blackberry Maps, Wayfinder, GPSed, Nav4All... anything

When I emailed NG, the person responded that their software works with the 60CSx. Just one week ago I first tried to download the maps into it and found that it can not be done. I emailed back a complaint and they indicated, as you did, that it only will transfer routes and waypoints. This screwed up my opportunity to use it on a vacation from which I just returned. So, I guess I'd better change my review so I don't give someone else the same misinformation.Sorry for any confusion. I was mislead by NG.

Of this model exist two variants, and I bought unfortunately that one without BT...Now I have tried to install a driver for this function but it doesn't work. The machine is good, no complain, but at the moment to buy much better read carefully the technical details....

I use the BT-359C with a Fujitsu laptop and Jeppesen Flight Deck. It works great showing my position both enroute and on the Approach Plate. The only Aviation APP I have seen advertised for the Android operating system is the Garmin Pilot App. The Samsung Galaxy 8.9 tab uses Bluetooth 3.0 the BT-359 is Bluetooth 2.0... they are backward compatible which leaves the only question is which aviation app will run on the Android operating system. the Garmin Pilot App is supposed to work but I have not tried it on my Android phone. I read one review that says it works on the Galaxy 7.7 and you will have to install Bluetooth GPS from Google Play (free app)to make the Galaxy see the Bluetooth device. In that review the person was using the Garmin GLO portable GPS which is similar to the BT-359 in size and shape but may have different function since it will work with an I-pad and I have not been able to get my I-pad to recognize the BT-359 yet, but I know it can be done since a friend of mine had it working with my BT-359 on his I-pad.

Better check, your tablet probably has a GPS already. You need to say more about your product. If it is a windows8 tablet it will support it. The output of the BU-353 is a standard serial format.

I bought an unlocked "Verizon" Blackberry Tour, but my carrier is TMobile. Placed my sim into it and turned it on, it came up and I was able to make, receive calls, texted and browse. This Tour is a little outdated because of the toddle mouse, if you can get the newer one withe mouse pad it would be better. However it should work if unlocked.

You need to know what frequencies are used in Switzerland, that is the only way you will know. I used in the Dominican Republic, but never got it to work with the BB RIM service, I can make and receive calls+send and receive texts, but the BB internet service never worked. I tried to register the phone for BB internet service and so far the wifi works but direct BB Service is non existent. I was told the software within the phone was not updatable to the version which is currently being used by the carrier I'm linked with. Personally If I had to do it all over again, I would go with an Android Phone. BB service is a pain in the butt, unless you must have a BB.

I have stopped using this device. Before you can use this with iPad you need to jailbreak it and download apps. I use an android and also needed to download the apps. It worked in android but reception was bad. You have to be driving around 10mi/hr so that gps can catch up with u. If I were u, just get a low cost gps from garmin! Tomtom or Magellan.

I have a model 3210 gps chartplotter. It works with it, and I note quite an improvement in the performance. If you have questions with your model call garmen support. They have always been very helpful for me.

I have found that a map update for my Magellan device, that also included Lifetime Maps for free, ended up costing me $50.Is there anyone here that has actually updated their 1490LMT with a new map? I am in search of a new nav. device that actuallyhas a map from this decade in it.-Thanks

FOLLOW BigZee's instructions-it works! I downloaded the driver directly to my Blackberry Curve 8310 which was fine, but was unable to connect to the keyboard until I followed BigZee's password typing instructions exactly, then it worked! Thanks!

It depends on the Blackberry...I use it with one of mine (Curve) but won't work on others.

This version of the Blackberry Curve was designed to work ONLY on the Boost Mobile USA network, which uses the Sprint USA network. A hacker MIGHT be able to root the phone so that you could use it with other Sprint companies, such as Virgin Mobile, but that service would be USA only.

I'm sorry but I don't know. I sent my BC20 back because the video was very poor, even in close proximity to the receiver. I understand that Garmin has made some recent improvements in this system but I don't know the latest owner evaluations. Good luck with your purchase.

I am considering the same thing. I bought the TomTom and have not been able to get it working - the operating software seems to have only partially loaded. I spent 3 hours on the phone with their customer service - very nice people, but they have no technical knowledge, they can only read to you from a script. I think I am going to return this one and give the Garmin a try.
