Yep, all of the above are lacking. Also lack of "open source" access or "hackers" to create skins and improve proggy. Nokia HERE proggy strong points is availability of it's HERE maps. Although not being able to download it from PC and saved for later use is a pain in the butt. Nokia HERE strong rating is from a lot of clueless users who think "off line" GPS that's "free" is the best since they've been using google map

But when compared to others proggies like iGO, Navigon, Street Pilot, it's lagging behind.

Yes, but ...

If you have download maps to phone, copy them to PC. I have notice, if we uninstall the application the maps folder still exits for a feature new install. Maybe, this is a solution

So map data only goes away if you 'Clear Data' before uninstalling? Also location of map is very obscured, I found it once and the map data is not organized in any fashion. Looks like the files are tiles with hex value naming (this is bad because what if I only want to save one state or country)
