I am looking for a different GPS program from a company interested in treating their customers right!!!

Edited to add: I have found a couple of possibilities, ZorroGPS, and Copilot that look to be about as good if not better then Garmin, and seam to be commited to providing mapping updates for people who buy their program, and at a very competative price.

Finally got garmin app loaded and I was able to unlock the map for 2010. The app runs kind of slow, maybe due to me running the app off the sd card.

If by slow you mean you get to the turn before the program does, that is a known issue with Garmin, GPS lag, the program was intended to run from a card.
I never did get a dependable on the intrepid version of ZorroGPS, they are supposed to contact me about this in the next day or two, but ZorroGPS had no lag what so ever running from the card, if they are able to streamline this app I think it will be one of the best GPS programs available, I liked it, such a shame it will not run dependable on the Intrepid.

I meant it takes a while to calculate routes and download traffic etc.

Yeah that's normal, the program has to try every possible route to where you want to go to determine which is fastest, and which roads actually go through so you don't end up on a dead end, compaired to other programs I have tried I think Garmin is pretty quick, and the routes seam to be the best routes, once you are going the off route recalculations are pretty fast.
