I already have a Garmin eTrex with preloaded citynav maps...a nice handheld color GPS, but not something you really want to carry all the time.
Now I purchased a Blackberry from VZW (and i'm not paying $10/mo for vznav).
That being said, do you think it would be worth buying this in my case? I really would like to avoid carrying my eTrex around for general use (just use it for hiking, mountain biking, etc where I don't want to break my phone). My main concern is: When you drive out in the boonies and don't get a good internet connection do you find Google Maps failing a lot out in the country? (Slow data)...if this is the case I'll just not bother since I have a Garmin device. Thanks for any input.
