I read where these maps can be imported in some fashion onto portable
"road" GPS units, but I haven't bothered to mess with that yet.

What is the advantage of this map over Google or Mapquest? I kinda

I'll tell you what's kind of freaky in a Big Brother is watching you
kind of way, is Zillow. I zoomed in on the in-laws place and there's my
father in law in the front yard!! Guess he just happened to be out there
when the van that goes around taking pictures drove by!

You can find locations at www.maps.google.com, then download them to your
GPS.
