BlackBerry Maps
Out of the box, your BlackBerry comes with the BlackBerry Maps application.
See Figure 13-1.

Storm.
You can use BlackBerry Maps to do the following:
✓ Find a location by typing an address or by using Contacts
✓ Get point-to-point directions (from an airport to a hotel, for instance)
✓ E-mail or SMS a location to colleagues and friends
✓ Turn GPS on or off
✓ Zoom into and out of the map
You can turn GPS on or off. You can still perform these functions with it
turned off, but you won't see your location.
You can tweak the light setting in BlackBerry Maps as follows:
1. Press the menu key and touch-press Maps.
2. Press the menu key and touch-press Options.
3. In the Backlight Timeout When field, touch-press < 50% Battery.
You can set this to whatever you like, but we recommend <50% or <25%.
4. Press the menu key and touch-press Save.
