I just don't completely get google maps. I use it daily on my desktop pc, which has high speed internet connection and I consider it really reliable. What comes to my N900 and 3g connection it's far away from my desktop connection as possible. I have downloaded Nokia maps to my N900 and happily use them without having to be depended on fast and reliable internet connection. I use connection to move couple of kb only at gps connection and when searching places. Just that when you use GPS how you can trust your 3g connection? It's not even possible everywhere. Enlighten me because if I used my data connection as my map source I would carry paper version of map always with me :|
