Seems like a great idea for the transatlantic holiday traveler but
they've missed the mark.

If you're taken by a device that can act as a translater, travel guide,
photo viewer, you're likely going on holidays in a foreign country,
why would you nessarily want your home market maps installed and not
the foreign country maps instead?

Preloaded maps are great for the technophobe, but that argument is sort
of thrown out the window with the other items (language, travel guide
etc..) being optional so presumably an install process is required, not
to mention having to buy/install the maps for the countries that speak
those new languages..

Having said that, more memory and potential features plus an SD card
with a bigger screen then the Quest.. hmm
