Note that while Google Maps software is free, you may incur data charges in using it to access maps. Your mobile service provider can provide more information about specific charges. Many companies offer an unlimited monthly data plan, and that may be the cheapest way to go if you access the Internet frequently from your BlackBerry.
Maybe you'd like to try an interactive demo before you download Google Maps. You can try it out your PC by visiting the Google Maps Web site. You'll be able to search for locations or directions and see search results, maps and satellite images as they would appear on your BlackBerry's screen.

When the Enterprise edition is updated several times a year, the administrator will send these upgrades directly to your BlackBerry. If you want to know more about installing the Enterprise edition for your company as a whole, visit the Google Maps Web site.
