Hi Handsom (

.) nice username and welcome to the site.

Not sure what capabilities you are after, but if you're looking for simple on-device navigation, check these two out:

Google maps (with gps plugin):
Mobile

Windows Live Mobile:
Windows Live™ for mobile

Both work pretty well, but my device doesen't have a GPS onboard so I don't make too much use of them to their fullest. Folks @ work seem happiest with the Google version though.

hi max..
I checked the links that you sent.. However, my phone doesn't have a data plane. I was wondering if there is any other software that doesn't required a data plan?

Ahh, gotcha...forgot to ask about that.

I haven't used this personally, but as far as a pay program:
Garmin | Garmin Mobile for BlackBerry
looks pretty decent.

Not sure what else is out there really, cause my company won't get me a blackberry

There's a discussion here about a few different solutions that don't use data on you Blackberry:

... and I've tried the Garmin for Blackberry on my Curve 8330 and liked it a lot. It looks a lot like a nuvi on a budget with less details and options. That said, it worked better than any of the other dozen or so GPS apps I've tried for the Blackberry. It acquired quickly and consistently and the voice guidance was fairly good.

I have check it right now, but in my opinion, it seems that the product is a little expensive.
and its function may be limite as well as others.
so suggest that could take a look at the other.
