also i believe it can be useful in preventing taking wrong turns since its maps are detailed enough.
plus now when i m asking a girl for her number i would take out a blackberry instead of my 10 year old samsung
however i m not sure how well the signal will be when you re in the middle of nowhere..
Has anyone tried using a blackberry on a tour?
Working on it!

Maybe? I have a bluetooth GPS module on order, supposedly it will work with a couple of different types of mapping software. I have just gotten started on this, when I get some results I will report back. FWIW I am using a Verizon Blackberry 8830 World.
