If you do not trust those turn-by-turn directions because you had a bad experience or you want to rely on your own sense of direction, you can install an application that will convert your BlackBerry Storm to an atlas.
An atlas allows you to see the area you travel in just as you would if you had a paper atlas in front of you.
The difficulty of this task is Moderately Easy.
You Will Need:
PayPal account
Step 1:
Scroll to and select the "App World" icon pre-loaded on your BlackBerry Storm to access the application download marketplace for BlackBerry. If for some reason you do not have the App World icon on your Storm, you can download it by going to mobile.blackberry.com on your Storm's Web browser.
Step 2:
Scroll to and select the icon with a magnifying glass on it. This loads the search bar. Enter "Atlas" in the App World's search bar to bring up all available programs that relate to atlas programs. If you know which program you want, you can enter that name into the search field. For example, three atlas programs are Big Tin Can Mapper, MokBee Maps and US Cities and National Parks Travel Guide.
Step 3:
Click on the application you want to download and then select to purchase the program. If the program is free, it will automatically start the download. If the program costs money, you will be directed to log in to your PayPal account. You must have a PayPal account, because your carrier will not bill you for the purchase. Enter your PayPal information and download the application to your Storm.
Step 4:
Locate the icon for your new atlas application in your list of programs and launch the program to turn your BlackBerry Storm into an atlas.
