Basically, I have a 700 and don't want to buy a TomTom as well. But I won't have internet access.
You will need to predownload the maps while you have an internet connection. Once you have the maps, Maemo Mapper will use them with the GPS. You can tell Maemo Mapper to download maps along your proposed route.
