Has anyone tried this yet? I registered for the beta but won't have time to install it until next week. Any comments welcome.

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.

Did you guys install to main mem or a storage card? I tried twice to install to a SD card on my Axim, and I could never get it to run.
