Wow, I haven’t even heard of “My Location”, but I think it’s the greatest thing in the world (besides the invention of the BlackBerry itself, of course).

I have google maps on my 8100 but my location never seems to work therefore I think its a daft idea to put it on if it won’t work.

Simply press “0″ anytime and the map will show your current location within 1700 meters. Works most of the time for me on my 8100 Pearl.

When I’m at home it shows My Location as being 8-10 miles away…but it does “OK” in town. It does have A.D.D. At times though.

What can be better then a service that is entirely FREE (Exept for the fact that you have to have a data plan). The accuritcy varries. Sometimes it will show an accuracy of 1000 meters. About a half mile. But other times it the accuracy is disipointing 2700 meters (Thats right, almost a mile and a half!) Never the less, a great addition to the list of the top FREE Blackberry Apps.
