Garmin will not work on Blackberry as it is service provider dependant.

Yes they do and "WITH" service provider support in the USA / Europe as maps stored in server.
In our part of world, service provider "DOES NOT" support.

Bro mfm88, your "cut n paste" from Garmin/Blackberry feature incomplete. Should be :

With this purchase
and a wireless data plan provided by your carrier, you can download software directly to your BlackBerry for the lifetime of your device. Includes everything you need — maps, millions of POIs and easy-to-use navigation software.

They tell you the truth, but NOT the WHOLE truth ....

No, as maps need to be extracted from SingTel / M1 / StarHub or in Malaysia Maxis / CelCom etc.... servers ....
Garmin needs to have a contract with these service providers to store their maps there ....
