Does WayFinder require an internet connection to provide turn-by-turn directions (as MaemoMapper does ?)

I'm planning a trip to Italy, and data roaming cost are too high to be usable.

Also, how good are the Italy maps an POIs in it ? (I'm on Diablo, with updated maps)

Unfortunately, I can't get my evaluation copy to work (says it expired about a year ago)... though I never used it.
Probably someone [ab]used my MAC address for the 7-days hack long described in the forum.

TIA.
