WARNING:
but GPS, the problem isn't with the hardware. The REAL problem is the maps. BlackBerry Maps is okay, Google Maps is also okay (need to download a 'special' edition, remove the dependency on Google services). I'm not sure what kind of detail you need, but if you only need Google Maps, and you're okay using the web browser version (which is kind of the same, really), should be okay. But you can still punch in coordinates, and it still tracks where you are reliably. Just that take the maps with a pinch of salt. As usual.
There are paid GPS apps, but if you already have them in your Android device, you can load them (unless they use Google Services)
If you already have the z3, have "SNAP" (an app to download from google play store), you can use this.

Basically you download the APK, put it into your computer/laptop, and it removes all GOOGLE APPS dependencies, and you have a fully functioning Google Maps on your BlackBerry Z3.
Hope that helps.

Google likes to track people (so that they can sell relevant ads)
Even Chrome will slow down over time. (DiGi recommends Opera)
Furthermore, Google Maps in Malaysia is not real time up to date live map.
The local law does not allow live map, which is good for security of nation.
Just look for a construction site and compare to it on Google Map.
Last I look Sunway South Quay is a flat land on Maps but in reality, roads are ready.
I avoid using apps that invite Google as I value privacy and avoid high data usage.
Beware of what you load onto your BB or else, just get an Android... Xiao Mi3 RM499 with Digi plan.
