Welcome to the Blip user guide
Blip is an easy-to-use geo-social interaction tool for BlackBerry®
smartphones that feature internal GPS technology. It enables you
to Share Your Where with the people that you know and vice versa.
By sharing GPS locations, Blip helps everyone answer questions
of Who, Where, and When.
Blip allows you to interact with BlackLine's GPS Snitch vehicle
tracking and security product. GPS Snitch owners who are familiar
with the GPS Snitch Web experience are now able to take it on the
road with them on BlackBerry smartphones.
Users of BlackBerry Smartphones without GPS technology can
share in the fun, interacting with shared GPS-enabled BlackBerry
smartphones and GPS Snitch devices.
If you own a BlackBerry Pearl , BlackBerry Curve , or BlackBerry
TM
8700 , purchase a GPS Snitch for yourself and start tracking!

Blip Introduction Screen
This Guide
For users wishing to publish GPS locations with the Blip
application, this guide assumes that you have created a BlackLine
account, activated your BlackBerry 8800 Series smartphone, and
installed the Blip application.
For users who have a compatible BlackBerry without GPS and
wish to interact with a GPS Snitch device or shared GPS-capable
BlackBerry smartphones, this guide assumes you have an account
and installed Blip on your BlackBerry device.
The following Web link offers further information about Blip,
details on BlackBerry compatibility, how to create a BlackLine
account, how to activate Blip on GPS-capable smartphones, and
how to install Blip on compatible BlackBerry devices.

Blip Compatibility with BlackBerry Smartphones
The BlackBerry 8800 series is fully compatible with Blip.
BlackBerry devices with 4.2 OS or higher are supported.
Overview
Note:
Blip requires BlackBerry
operating system version
4.2 or higher.
Since GPS is not built within certain BlackBerry smartphones, the
interaction experience is limited. If you have a non-GPS-enabled
BlackBerry device, your smartphone will be able to interact with
the BlackLine GPS Snitch and GPS-enabled BlackBerry 8800
series smartphones. However, others will not be able to map your
most recent location since GPS publishing is not possible.
If you have a GPS Snitch or co-workers, friends, or family with a
BlackBerry smartphone, go ahead and download Blip for your nonGPS-based BlackBerry smartphone. Signing up for the beta
program is not necessary since your smartphone is not able to
publish GPS locations.
Overview
GPS Location Security Notice
