Are there any download applications for GPS,knots/mph, maps for lakes, etc.,
that you use with Blackberry on your vessels?

I don't know. But I do know I almost threw my neighbor and his damn
blackberry out of the boat the first and last time I took him fishing.
He's asked since, and I told him he'd have to leave the blackberry at
home. He's not mentioned fishing since then.

I think what really cracks me up more is those folks who walk around
the store or the street with a big flashing earpiece on the side of
their head.. Really, most of the time the conversation is something
like:
"What are you doing"?.. "Uh, nothing, what are you doing"?

The ones with the blue flashing lights are the best.. "Look at me!
Look at me!!" Pffffttt..

My brother uses his PDA and a Blackberry with a PCMA (or whatever that
slot thingy is called) GPS receiver and Maptech software.

I've never been impressed with the GPS performance on the PDA and even
out in Narragansett Bay, the Blackberry can be problematic in GPS
mode. It's not a question of functionality - it works fine, but the
signal aquisition is position dependant - you're constantly fiddling
with placement to get the best fix.

Not my thing. As a backup, yeah maybe, but not as a main navigation
device.
