I would assume Microsoft, like everyone else, purchases this information, so you will find that most products mimic the same routes, as there are few providers out there. I have not experienced any problems in my area, but I can see how this might be of concern. The naming of roads has always been a bit nasty, IMO, but I have not found a product that is any better.* The PocketPC limititation? I can understand this as well, although I have never had the need to load more than 5MB in a single map on my Pocket PC. In fact, when I t
