Depending on how big an area you want to cover the maps take awhile to load from the web. 2.5 by 2 mile of Boston took about 10 minutes for both Aerial and Topo images. A 10 X 10 mile area took a liitle over a half hour.
I think it's really cool so far. I haven't tried it With my bluetooth GPS yet but I think this will be a great addition to anyones arsenal of GPS apps.
I went geocaching with it over the weekend and I cant wait until it goes gold ! It is very easy to use and the aerial as well as the topo maps are a handy feature.
