I didn't see anything about maps. Doesn't it come preloaded with maps?

They're not very detailed on the maps and what's available...I did find: "GPS navigation software is included in select countries. Purchase of additional maps and/or software may be required to enable some features or allow navigation in certain areas.
Availability of maps is limited. Map coverage may vary and is not guaranteed."

I liked the fact that you can change the battery (which I take it means that it is user replaceable.)

Run as fast as you can.
Got one of these when they were $200 on Amazon. Major problems. It reboots for no reason as you are driving.
If you push the buttons too fast (yes) it will freeze up.
The bluetooth works but if you try to synch with your contacts it won't find them. You have to type out complete State names and then United States of America for favorites you are saving.
It looks great and the 3D buildings are neat but as a GPS it just it way to much trouble. You would end up in an accident trying to restart it via reset after a freeze.
There are forums about it on Gpspassion that outline all the problems. Most people sent them back.
