Get Google Maps On The Blackberry Playbook
There are some reports that it does not run as smooth as the browser version of Google Maps but it does make use of the Blackberry Playbook’s GPS. There have been several reports that while attempting to use MapApp in street view has caused the app to hang a couple of times so unless you really need a dedicated map app then perhaps sticking to the browser version of Google Maps is still the best solution, at least for now.
However if you’re interested in checking the app out just head on down to App World for the download. Who knows, perhaps future versions of the app will fix the hangs and improve the performance, but until then it’s a somewhat decent alternative to the browser version of Google Maps.
