Anyone used this yet?

I'm interested in what data they are using for the images, as I'd like this product, but only after seeing the images in my area.

Looks very tempting - and at only A$39.95 per year. I wonder how old the satellite data is and which data are they using. I might have a shot at it and see what it looks like.

I also wonder whether using such maps causes a faster drain on the batteries as well because of the extra detail and processing required by the GPSr?

Cheers and thanks for letting us know March Brown

Hmmm i foresee a future expense, does anyone now where they are sourcing the Satelitte images from

if we can find out then at least we would have an idea about the quality of the images...hopefully

Sounds interesting, but too bad you have to use it with BaseCamp. BaseCamp always makes me feel violently stabby. But I'd like to see the imagry for my area first.
