Only google maps which is quite good in satellite view mode to see new tracks in woodland. Also great for general on-road navigation. But No mapping with trail capability is yet available for Blackberry. Viewranger has promised but not delivered.

Viewranger for me....
Shame it just sucks power from my phone so it is not practical to use as a permanent replacement for a GPS unless you have a power monkey.

There's also several free OpenStreetMap apps available as well as free maps based upon the public Ordnance Survey data. The only commercial quality products I've seen are Viewranger (Android + a few others) and Memory Map (Windows). I've never tried Quo but know others use it.

The free maps from OSM and OS are both increasing in quality daily and they're not far from the commercial product, but today I think if you want accurate and complete mapping (as good as that ever is) you need a commercial product.

One of the massive advantages of OSM is that it's mapping made by the public so all the tracks are where they are on the ground, other interesting features are noted (e.g. nature reserves, monuments etc) and they are dynamically updated by the people using it.
