Enable GPS on Verizon Wireless?

I have a Blackberry Curve 8330 from Verizon Wireless. I would like to use the GPS feature to map my bike routes. I have two questions:
1. The internal GPS. I do not subscribe to the VZ Nav feature, and do not want to pay. I did set my GPS from "911 only" to "locate on" under the options – advanced setting. But the apps that I have found and downloaded (GPSed, GPS Tracker) do not recognize the GPS. The Blackberry Maps app does, and will track distance and speed,

2. Any good GPS routing apps that will work. GPSed and GPS Tracker do not seem to find the GPS. Blackberry Maps does, but only records speed and total distance, not a route to save. I am looking for something like MapMyRide, but free or a one time fee.

Which GPS device to get?

I’m am looking to buy a gps system, I am on a limited budget but I never realized how hard it would be just to find the right one. I have spent hours looking through the reviews and I am back where I started. I currently have the Verizon Wireless GPS and I really like it, but I want something more permanent. So far I have kind of narrowed it down to a garmin nuvi 265w and a tom tom 330s. If anyone has these or can give advice it would be greatly appreciated.

TomTom Go GPS (US version) – Any Verizon Wireless customers got their TomTom Traffic to work?

I just purchased a TomTom Go 510 GPS. I was only informed after the fact by TomTom tech support that TomTom Traffic (via cellphone bluetooth connection) would not work with the Verizon Wireless network. I find this quite hard to believe, especially the fact that they did not disclose this info on their product itself. I you are a Verizon Wireless customer and got your TomTom traffic to work through your cellphone, please tell me step-by-step how you did it. Thanks!!
