Honestly, I am not too impressed by the Wayfinder or Google maps
concept of on-demand online mapping. Sure, it offers many benefits
in terms of being current and offering real-time services. But what
if you are in a remote area without wireless access, i.e. when you
need the maps most?
I'd rather be safe and have 1 GB of map data on my mobile, ready when
I need it.
The smart2go offer seems reasonable. We'll see how it actually pans
out once they make it available.

Hi
I know it's important to have binary maps archives, but wouldn't it be
simpler/better/easier to do a google maps + GPS mashup application
(before open source maps are complete)? Again, sadly no EDGE...
