I wouldn't mind if it worked, but it's a strong indicator IME that the person handling the map hasn't a clue.
jib71, that person would be me, as I shamefully admitted on my 1st post
My friends take a peek at a map and instantly memorize them, but this time I won't be able to count on them and, of all places, I picked a perfect one to get lost. But I'm really looking forward to this trip and really appreciate all the input received here.

If it works with a locked AT&T phone, then that means they have a deal with AT&T. Probably better just to get service directly from AT&T.
I found this to be an interesting proposition, if it works with my devices. According to posts on this thread, it works with jailbroken iPhone3G but not with non-jailbroken iPhone4s.
I'm leaning towards renting an iphone, if anyone has used one that would recommend I appreciate. Off to doing some more research...
