The second problem is that you have no data connection when using GPS!
:-( E.g. I will have problems to get a reasonable data connection in
Central Europe. A lot or little countries and you need to buy the
service in every one again or pay high price for data roaming. That
wouldn't be usable for downloading rendered map pictures from
internet:-( In the moment you leave you home city (which you know
anyway) you pay you pay a lot... Othe thing is how you get the good
conenction abroad e.g. in mountains.
