By default, Delorme will copy it to your "My Documents" folder for the device and Activesync will transfer it over. There is no method within the software to specify the Pocket PC's storage card, which can be a problem. Thankfully, you can move the map files to a storage card later using Windows Mobile's built-in file manager. However, I believe the actual route files, which are smaller, still must be in main memory for the program to correctly see them. A bit of a pain - hopefully Delorme will improve this in subsequent releases to allow direct copying to the storage card.

I am not positive but I think the system used to allow you to specify where on the PPC to copy the maps. In any case you don't even need to move them once on the PPC. The cut maps are stored in a mobile directory under the DeLorme structure, and you can just copy them over using AS or WMDC, using the file explor interface. Or use a flash card reader.
The previous versions also let you define where to look fo data on the PPC. It was in a settings menu in the data menu. You got to check off folders in which you wanted the program to look, and you could put routes and waypoints about anywhere.
Another feature that is fairly unique is that routes and waypoints generated on the PPC can be copied back to the desktop and used.
Another point is that you can also cut maps with DeLorme's Topo product, giving you an off-road option as well as the usual street nav program.
I never have like Delorme's interface, PC or PP, but there are a number of pretty nifty features to their system.
