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

Quite confusing with this clause
Turn your BlackBerry into a savvy navigator with Garmin Mobile. Purchase Garmin Mobile™ for BlackBerry® and download software directly to your phone. Includes everything you need — maps, millions of POIs and easy-to-use navigation software.

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.

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 ....
