Good point.  I wouldn't wast all the space on my ipod just to have a crummy low quality map.

fugot:
right now i have an extra 15 gb on my ipod. so i would have lots of space, also mabe you could download so you wouldn't need any air waves. im pretty sure that it doesn't take up more than 2 gb.

Yotto:
While I personally would love handy maps on my iPod, I don't think this is practical.  Maybe having the maps for certain areas would be possible.

Note, with a little elbow grease it's possible right now.  Do a google search for "Yahoo directions ipod" (sans quotes) and, with a little modification you can tailor that to Rockbox.  I've done it.  It was nice on the one trip I did (esp. when I got off course) but I don't think I'd go through all the work again.

Flid:
Personally, I keep various maps of major UK towns and cities on my iPod, just incase. They've come in pretty useful when drunk and lost in London at 4am.  ::)

Sambolina3:
If you download a high res map then you can use the photo veiwer to magnify certain parts of the map.  That would work for most things.
