Magellan Compass Q10 version released
We recently updated Magellan Compass to fit on the Q10 devices. So a new version should be available to download shortly for both devices. We appreciate the continued support of our users. Please provide positive reviews to help with the product placement of the app in BlackBerry World.
PlayBook download button missing
If you have purchased an app on the PlayBook and then on the BB10, you will probably notice that on an upgrade, you can no longer download the app on the PlayBook. This is known by BlackBerry, but they need people to report it so the fix can be moved out faster. Please report your issue at:

New Voices for Magellan Compass
Please welcome Antonio and Alessandra voices to Magellan Compass. Both voices are Italian. Antonio is free to download and Alessandra is just $0.99 US. Just go under the application’s settings, then Voices. Press “Update” to get the current list of voices. Antonio and Alessandra are near the bottom of the list.
App Wont Run
We have received several email support questions that their app does not launch anymore. This is a known problem with the operating system and BlackBerry has resolved it in a new Os update. However, it seems that everyone is waiting for each carrier to release it to the devices. There is nothing we can do on our end, and it appears that BlackBerry cannot do much either. We suggest to contact your carrier to find out when the next OS will be made available.
Magellan Compass 4.3.1 Released
