So the maps are not for me. Nokia Maps are about 7GB so probably it is much larger then that

Max zoom is almost unusable for every thing I can think of, at least if
You mean N900 and navigation. Remember, that getting max zoom =! getting all lower zoom levels, unless you choose to download them also.
Nokia Maps vector thing *never* was even close to mapping quality Marble offers. I think You're just mixing technologies here. I also rely on predownloading maps and navigation (You can download navigation instructions for Whole world from Marble, without any problem or too big space usage), I just choose to download tiles I'm really going to use. Like sane zoom (not largest) or tiles ~ fixed kilometers from road, which for Marble got nice option bundled in.
Just give it a try, if You're willing to see difference
IMO, no commercial navigation program offer quality like that.

What zoom should I chose to download and drive with comfort? 11,12,13 or 14 or even higher?

The problem is that there is a limit for download and even when I try to download Poland at full zoom (17) this is to big. if I remember correctly even 14 is to big and 14 isn't to comfortable. and it takes huge amount of space plus the routing :/ Hope that some day they will think a way to lighten up the whole thing
