Well I've had this application running on my 8820 for a few weeks now and have loaded the full maps for Arizona. There is one glaring and unforgivable flaw with their software... no zoom.

The worst part about it is that they are unapologetic about it. It's my opinion that unless you are hopelessly lost (think Survivorman), this application involves too much scrolling to be of any use to the typical wandering BlackBerry user.



Here is their response to my question I had about the zoom:

As this is a topo map, it is not expected to zoom in and out like google map. And the closest thing would be the different map scales. Nevertheless, the zoom feature was never advertised as part of the app.
