Yep!

Went on a ride this weekend. Most of the ride was 1x data or none at all. When I needed to reroute it took minutes to load a new route, or it would just give up.

As long as you stay on your route 100% of the way when data is slow or non existence you are fine with OTA. Need to reroute then you are S.O.L.

I have tried all the offline GPS programs for Android (NDrive, CoPilot etc) and they are pretty lame IMHO.

I think I am going to pickup a HD2 on Craiglist and run it as a stand alone GPS until Android can get some good GPS programs like Garmin, iGo, or TomTom.
