@All
Yes I'm a new owner, thanks  happy.gif  I take pics whenever I can to experiment on its capabilities and so far with the original camera software ver 1.7 it's really taking off.
@Profrahhen
Sorry, Garmin's not compatible  blink.gif only Wayfinder Navigator. I'm not well versed with GPS/aGPS, I'm more of a Google Maps person so I'm not so sure what advantages/disadvantages it has over Garmin. AFAIK Wisepilot might be compatible.

Yes, I had a hard time refraining myself from eating it while attempting to shoot it drool.gif

I've done some homework on the GPS functionality, and yes, Wisepilot which has an identical UI to that of Garmin is also compatible. Both Wayfinder Navigator (which is preinstalled out of the box) and Wisepilot allow you to preload maps. AFAIK, Google Maps don't support preloaded maps though. Just a word of precaution, while abroad, make sure you diactivate aGPS and use only GPS or data charges may incur.
