I just received confirmation that the BlackBerry mapping application Spot for BlackBerry is compatible with the brand new BlackBerry Bold and Kickstart!

Key features of Spot:

• Field and moving map navigation
• Orientation
• Routing
• Tracklogs
• Waypoint
• POI management
• Guaranteed: 100% subscription free!

Preconfigured Map Services

• Streetlevel Maps
• Topographic Maps
• Satellite Maps

A very interesting feature is also:

OGC WMS compatibility allows you to access thousands of free map services (see OGC WMS Server List) or connect Spot with a map server of your company like ArcIMS, deegree or MapServer.

The OGC WMS standard is a web map service standard that allows you to run your own map server service on your server with your own data. Many local government administrations and companies (like gas, electricity, water supply companies) do this to have their network plan of pipes and streets available on a web server which can be accessed over the internet at any time. So Spot looks like it is the only application for BlackBerry wireless handhelds (and even for J2ME compatible phones) in the world that provides this kind of feature. You might want to give it a try
