After doing the internal/external card swap thing (remove 128 meg card, and install 4 gig card), I was able to download US East and West maps OK.
I use a globalTop G66 BT gps device. Works GREAT! I love the small size, about the size of an iPod Nano. Only wish that turning it on was a bit harder (longer delay on touch button) as it comes on too easily.
I have been using the free map trial for 5 days now and did an 800 mile round-trip and it worked just fine. So far the only complaint I have about 'map' is that it does not handle parking lots or driveways very well. For instance, if I pulled in to a destination/waypoint and I tell it to create a route to another destination, it comes up with this lame message that says I need to move closer to a road before it will create a route. I have used a PC (with Delorme) and Garmin devices before and they could handle this issue without a problem.
