THERE IS NO MAP DATA FOR INDIA in the BlackBerry maps app yet! Even after 10 years of doing BUSINESS in INDIA! Why this apathy?
BlackBerry tied up with Mapsmyindia in 2013 to patch some gap, but there are so many problems with this service and I shall list them here:
1. These maps app is only available to people who have purchased their phones from India. There are a lot of people who have bought their phones from other countries, including Dubai or the UK. These phones do not have anywhere to go, no BBmaps and no mapmyindia!
2. Mapmyindia is not OS integrated like BBmaps are, one cannot use great apps like Blackberry Travel, BBM, Glympse to name a few. Due to this, one cannot share their location, cannot use any mapping application to correctly gather location data, save locations and so on. Moreover, a lot of the third party apps also directly connect to BBmaps!
3. Mapmyindia has a very heavy UI, and doesn't feel Blackberry at all! Despite being a so called native-app, it doesn't make use of the BB10 cascades or gesture based controls at all, what a shame!
So this petition is to make sure BlackBerry is aware of the situation and introduces the map data for BlackBerry Maps! It sounds crazy but they should have done it by now, they had TEN years! Specially when BlackBerry was at its peak! So, this is a demand from the Indian consumers of Blackberry to put the maps at the most urgent basis!
Please sign the petition if you agree!

Constant feedback tells me I am not the only one frustrated by the lack of local map integration. I have sent another formal inquiry to their regional office regarding these persistent software gaps.

The momentum is undeniable now. BlackBerry is finally starting to pay attention.

maps are very important for me. It was a big disappointment when I discovered that the BlackBerry z10 handset that I have brought does not support any good maps. I will switch back to android soon if bb maps dont come and advice noone to buy a bb10 device. I want BlackBerry maps for india.
by looking at the BlackBerry's financial condition, India is proving to be major contributor for its sales. its a high time BlackBerry maps be introduced to indian customers.
i have been a loyal customer of BlackBerry so please be a loyal service provider and provide me maps so that i dont have to open my car window everytime and ask people routes
must required BlackBerry Map for India... we are loyal customers of BlackBerry since last decade but still BlackBerry is not serious and taking care of Indians like us. who is still using BlackBerry... i purchased Z10 in Rs. 42K and now BlackBerry is sales Z10 in 17K in indian market... is it loyalty with Black berry's loyal customers like us...

Dear Blackberry Team, Its time you consider the requirment of Indian cusmers and their needs. Maps are globally used on daily base by vast number of users. Hence looking at the masive Blackberry users across India, you should Get the map for India. failing to which their already users switched to android for even not liking it.
