I believe the reason why this won't work on some older devices is because the resolution of the downloaded maps can't be displayed on lower res older screens. I may be wrong though.
I guess that's their excuse but it's kinda lame. I mean. My apache by default takes pictures at resolutions higher than my phone screen resolution yet I'm able to see those just fine with and without scaling.

I think they're just trying to get cheapskates like me to move up to newer tech. [rant on] I'd love to, if they put cut and paste into win phone 7 and not nuder office functionality. I use my current apache with 6.1 to create content, keep track of my car mileage in pocket excel, take meeting notes in pocket word, and heck even put pdf maps or manuals on my phone just so I can get where I'm going or do things that would otherwise require me to lug around a laptop. I wish Sprint would put win mo 6.5.3 on the EVO, but I guess that would cut deep into future win phone 7 units. I mean the OS has potential, but I currently see that I have a lot to lose from even what a TP2 would provide. [rant off]

I guess I'm getting a TP2 and waiting for win phone 7.4 before upgrading the TP2. Heck I've had the apache this long.
