They're also, essentially, static, though. As opposed to the dynamic
moving maps you'd encounter in a GPS nav situation.

I never had any lockups with GMM on my WinMo phone using 1.x, but I haven't
done any navigation with 2.0, so I can't agree or disagree with the lockup
issue- I ditched GMM in favor of WLS long ago.

FWIW, the google maps application (not the web site) on my 8925 Tilt
does update dynamically with my on board GPS.

Pretty slick.

Maybe on an iPhone, but on a phone that supports a GPS internally or
externally, your current position is already there. How much work is
tapping a "gas prices" icon to bring uo the closest 25 stations? It's very
handy when in a strange city filling up the rental car before returning it!

Funny, I'd have said "AND it's Windows!" ;-)
