Seems to work fine with Google Maps for me. How did you get Google Earth for BB?

Google Earth on BB doesn't exist.

That's what I was finding, but I wondered if CodyBB knew something I didn't...

(...perhaps he's not really left-handed? :-) )

I don't think there is a way to install .alx files with desktop manager.

this is taken from this site/post (http://www.blackberryforums.com/aftermarket-software/142672-signal-location-utility-blackberry-beta.html)

* Exports cell site and location info in KML or CSV format that can be easily
imported to Google Earth and other mapping programs, spreadsheets, etc.
The data can be exported to the clipboard or a media card.

in english.... not google earth on your bb but on your pc. the data file is moved from device to pc and then used in google earth. on your device, only bb maps work.
