Why is this better than Google Maps? I have no allegiance to GMaps, just wondering why I should install another App that does the same thing.

 
 
Posted by pkcable Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

It appears to be much more than just a mapping GPS. It looks more like a cross between Gmaps & Pyont. I'm downloading it now.

This thing wont let me set my location. It just keeps going back to Boston. Anyone else have the same problem?

Disregard, I deleted and reinstalled. Working now.

I'm having a hard time as well setting my location up... I keep getting "we did not find any results for your search"
frustrating because this looks pretty cool. Help please

Just downloaded it. Like it better than Poynt!

The best part is the Yelp widget. It let's you find great food places by reviews. You can't do that with Gmaps or Poynt.

Very very nice application, works very quickly and unlike point, it maps places within itself, so you don't have to switch to Gmaps or BBmaps to see locations.

Very cool! Will be using this quite often.

I deleted poynt once i saw the capabilities of this app. I too will use this often.

My Storm is becoming better everyday because of awesome apps like this!

I've tried every possible combination but I can't even put my home address in or even "philadelphia, PA". Anybody else running into this problem?

Works fine on my Verizon Storm. The only problem I had wad the initial setting of my location. Couldn't tell if it took and the info kept floating on a blue bar in the middle of the screen. My dumb ass finally figured out to press it and it then set the location. Works great!

Keeping Poynt, Where, and Google Maps though....

 
 
Posted by dancer56 Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

I just downlaoded Where and it says "uncaught exception application is not responding" What's up with that?

 
 
Posted by vlkers7171 Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

im keeping poynt and where..they both have their strong and weak points...i love both of these apps.. :-D

 
 
Posted by Rupert Noton Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

I don't seem to be able to access the mapping option.

Thanks for the feedback CrackBerry-ers. I've noted the issues that you have commented on. You can always email bbsupport@ulocate.com to troubleshoot as well :)

 
 
Posted by rox13 Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

As other posters, I get the message "we did not find any results for your search"
All dowloaded effortlessly, but not able to set location

 
 
Posted by Had2lve Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

On the storm, you need to set you GPS Services option to "location on". The default is "E911" only.

 
 
Posted by mtbrown19 Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

Does this app work in Canada?

 
 
Posted by eluxman Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

cant find me ???

 
 
Posted by leemoreau Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

Doesn't work either, I'm in Toronto every link says nothing found. There's no options either can't find how you would change weather to C from F and everything is in MPH, I'll stick to poynt this looks pretty unfinished.

 
 
Posted by raelssur Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

I tried to change the location to Philadelphia PA and it says it does not exist. So wont work for me. Also on the storm I could not find any registration program and they will not let you do it on the website. Keeps sending the information to the phone.

The where.com site doesn't have Verizon listed as one of the service providers this works with. Since it's showing on a Storm I have to wonder whether or not this will work.

Maybe that's the cause of the errors some of you are seeing?

 
 
Posted by ccmaine Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

For those of you having issues with setting your location, make sure you have BB Maps installed v. Google Maps. This may be the problem that you are encountering.

 
 
Posted by Heresy64 Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

Whatever the source of Where's information is, it is sadly out of date and woefully incomplete. It's a great idea for an application, but it is still definitely a work in progress.

im on verizon..worked fine for me...

 
 
Posted by BMc1217 Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

pretty cool were mentioned in the vid lol

 
 
Posted by rapsball4 Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

Seems like a great app, but three problems:
1. No option to change the temperature to Celsius as far as I could find. Not a tool I need, but since it shows up all the time anyway, I'd like it to actually be useful to me.
2. Movies isn't up yet. Will have to hold on to Poynt until it is.
3. Telus' GPS block of everything other than BBMaps (and Telus Nav) seems to apply to it.

 
 
Posted by Saiyajin Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

It doesn't let me set my location either or let me use the mapping feature. I also got rid of BB Maps and have Google Maps... Probably is the problem.

 
 
Posted by rox13 Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

my previous post stated that I couldn't set my location. Well, I'm an idiot! I changed a setting on my bb to enable
GPS....duh! iT'S WORKING GREAT NOW! Thanks!!

Runs great on my storm. Can we delete the starbucks icon? I hate their coffee.

 
 
Posted by john_ecko Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

I prefer the user interface on Poynt but Where does many more things. I'll probably try Where for a bit

 
 
Posted by muzll0dr Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

When I visit where.com and select T-Mobile it tells me it's available, and when I click the "run Where" link, it just takes me back to the first page... Methinks this isn't right. :)

 
 
Posted by ccmaine Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

Hi, The G1 Android is currently the only phone supported on T-mobile.

 
 
Posted by jb305 Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

does this work in the uk

 
 
Posted by ccmaine Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

Hi, Unfortunately, WHERE is only available in North America. For now...

 
 
Posted by cjazjef Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

this app worked good for about an hour and my phone has been f'd up since. numerous reboots and new error messages after battery pull. Had to uninstall and restore to an old backup on my computer

 
 
Posted by ccmaine Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

What error messages were you seeing? Email me at ccorns@ulocate.com

News and Movies say that the feature is coming soon????

 
 
Posted by bondo06092 Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

so is there a way to set up an account on the storm or no?

 
 
Posted by CC from WHERE Monday, Mar 09, 2009 1173 days ago

Unfortunately, web registration and widget management are not available on the Storm.

 
 
Posted by matheudr Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

I might have to delete Poynt now...

 
 
Posted by stuaw11 Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

its a good concept but poorly implemented. Whenever you pull up a menu, its incredibly slow. The map scrolling and zooming is horribly slow as well, even on 3g. Seems like a great idea with lots of info available, but the program itself needs work.

Posted by kthakarsey Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

lets say i find a restaurant on "where" that i like ...and if i map it ...is there a way to get turn by turn directions like poynt? I keep selecting "map place -> navigate with gps" but then it doesn't do anything?

 
 
Posted by pcamp5 Thursday, Mar 05, 2009 1177 days ago

Nice and different from Poynt. Glad to know where every Starbucks is located.

Wish I could find a Starbucks. :(

most features do not work in Canada - emailed support and that was there response.

I miss my Buddy Beacon from my Helio Ocean. I still have friends that use it and I like it since they aren't able to use Latitude on GMaps. It mentions BB for one of the features on Where, but I don't see it on my Storm 9530 version. I also wish the Movies and News option worked. I'm sure those will work soon though. Just curious about the BB. Otherwise, it works great on .109 os.

 
 
Posted by Franki3B Friday, Mar 06, 2009 1176 days ago

After I installed the app, I noticed a slowdown in my Storm speed. Seemed to get the clock every few seconds. Also my battery died incredibly fast. Didn't like to open when I wanted it to, and took a long time to find my location. Removed app an Storm is back to normal. A very nice little app but still needs a bit of work I think. I did enjoy the Gas Price fuctionality but not worth keeping just for that. Gonna stick with Poynt for now and check out their next version release.

 
 
Posted by BrianF Saturday, Mar 07, 2009 1175 days ago

i tried it on storm also could not get it to find my location either.i'll just wait till later i guess and maybe try it again.

I installed and liked it but Verizon Navigator started 'acting up'. I uninstalled Where and Verizon Navigator worked normally. Sorry but I can't live without V Navigator.

.....battery life went to crap when i installed this, got rid of it and battery is fine now.

Is it going to work in the great white north (canada),
lots of APPS like this don't recognize anything up here?

 
 
Posted by Goalieparents Saturday, Mar 07, 2009 1174 days ago

I had trouble getting it to download. Once I got it downloaded it seemed to work okay for the most part. I was very disappointed in many of the hits places around my area. Many not listed.

The biggest issue was it drained the battery really quickly.
I didn't even get 8 hours out of the phone. I removed the program until updates are posted.

Google maps so far much better.

Posted by satnav4 Wednesday, Mar 11, 2009 1171 days ago

I have the Where program installed and the GPS enabled. I am unable to set location via gps. I saw some posts stating to load BB Maps. When I go to do so, I get a message from the BB site saying that only v4.1 and v4.2 are supported. I am running v4.7.0.75. How are people getting the maps on their units? Do I really need BB maps to use the gps function?

Thanks for any help.
