Instead of clicking “Next” to step through each spoken direction, I would like Infospace Find It! to use my Blackberry 8830’s GPS to automatically detect when I need to act on the next direction, and read the direction at that time. This is the only feature Infospace Find It! needs to be best-of-breed in every respect; without it, I need to use another application.

Will this feature be added to Infospace Find It!, and if so, when?

Alternatively, is there another application that has this feature?

By changing Blackberry browser’s setting to emulate IE solved the 907 invalid zip error.

I was able to download infospace findit on my previous pearl. I had to do a warranty exchange and now when I try to download the program I am getting that 907 COD error. Has anyone found a definite solution to this?

Hi,
I’m Mike from CitiMobile technical support. Im researching the invalid COD error. I wish Haelan was more specific about which solution they used to resolve their issue.

I am getting the exact same problem – When I put in my final destination is crashes!

I actually got past that a couple of times by putting in a manual start/finish address.

I heard the first voice prompt, but it never seemed to give me the next one, unless I selected it. That means I have to guess when I need the next prompt. If that is how this works, it is pretty much useless for me, as the map is so tiny I can’t tell where I’m at.

I like the BlackBerry maps program a lot as far as the map and GPS goes, but I need on that talks to me.

My VZ Navigator on my LG 8300 does that for $2.95 for 24 hours. MUCH better deal than the $10/month Telenav program on the BB (and there is no free trial with Telenav, so I have no idea if it is worth it.) Is there a minimum # of months you have to sign up with Telenav?

I have followed all your instructions (have the BB8800 with Cingular) and can only get so far with it. Arggggg. It can find where I am. I then enter my ending address and try to get directions… then it HANGS… everytime! APN setting are correct, reloaded the app a million times, etc. Any other thoughts? This is insane!

This is for T-Mobile users. If you are using Cingular go to google and type in “cingular APN” and find the correct address.

[T-Mobile users] Make sure your APN is correct. To do this go to OPTIONS>ADVANCED OPTIONS> TCP> APN make sure you “wap.voicestream.com” (no quotations) is entered, no username or password required.

Next check to make sure your Blackberry browser’s setting is set to emulate IE. Do this by going into your browser press the physical Menu button (the one with all the dots) and scroll down to OPTIONS>Browser Configuration and make sure it’s on “EMULATE MODE: Microsoft IE”.

then proceed to download Infospace from http://bb.infospace.com/rim

[If Infospace is already installed you might need to delete and reinstall that was the case in my situation].

I noticed I had to delete and reinstall Infospace Find It! to delete go to OPTIONS >ADVANCED OPTIONS> APPLICATIONS> highlight Inforspace and press the menu button and hit “delete”. click ok. then proceed to redownload infospace from address listed above.

Hope this works! It worked for me.

I get the same network error message as the other people running my BB8800. I have reloaded it sooooo many times, rebooted, etc. What now? It sounds great but…. have to get it working. Help, please!

I had the same issues as many other “Unable to start InfoSpace Find It! Possible nework problems, try again.” Tried reloading 3 times, did not work. I am using a 8100 through TMobile. I use bb 411 and bb maps and Google maps, all works fine without any issues…
Anyone , any ideas?

I found and fixed the “Invalid COD” issue on the 8800. Restarting and taking your battery out is NOT the answer. Apparently the problem is related specifically to using Cingular’s MEdiaNet Browser. If you use the BlackBerry browser (which I had hidden and hadn’t tried until now), the install will work without a problem. I can verify the application is absolutely awesome…with one caveat…it would be 3x sweeter if they used Google Maps for their mapping!!!!

JJ — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 01:01:04 +0000

I also had the “Invalid COD”… That seems to be an OS bug on the 8800. It’s happened to me with other download, as well. Try taking the battery out and rebooting the BB. Worked for me then. Good luck!

Err, the reply doesn’t quote… This was the error I was talking about:

“Unable to start InfoSpace Find It! Possible nework problems, try again.”

SAME HERE…WHAT IS UP WITH THIS? I’m using the 8700g on T-Mobile.

I’m getting the exact same error on my 8100 with T-Mobile.

Google Maps is getting data just fine, so I assume my TCP is set up correctly….

How do I change the TCP setting to BES. And what is this? Thanks!!!
