I just downloaded the trial version. I haven't loaded it yet so I can't post any sort of review. What gets me is the "feature limited" trial. I don't mind spending $60 if this truly does what I need but how will I know if they limited out the features I want to test?

This says a lot for testing via torrent or warez. I've never loaded anything from either but there are a couple of good reasons to do so when it comes to GPS apps. First and foremost is the separate µSD or µSDHC card. It wouldn't be so bad with some phones' two ports (or even the hot-swap port on my LG VX8600) but yank the battery every time I want to use the app?

If it were convenient I would do as the doc and test them all then buy the one I like the best but actually use the pirate version on my 16GB µSDHC. That should cover me with the guy upstairs.

I need GPS outside of VZW coverage (Lake Sam Rayburn area). It's one of the reasons I hated VZNavigator. No sigee no workee.

I'm going to the lake tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how it did for me (if I can download the maps before I lose coverage).
