great information on this. Does Androzic allow for use of maps when out in the bush with no signal? It looks like a great program but how does it function when its not able to live-update from a carrier signal?

yep, IVe got all of australia loaded in under 2gb at the 1:250K level which is good enough for most vehicle based stuff providing you plan your routes on a larger screen then upload them to the GPS.
Im using the same maps as Ive been using for the last 3 years but am not having the problem of the maps are not overlaid correctly.
Yeah I use Androzic on the Galaxy S too, its pretty nice.
I've also had the problem with the map joints, not that often though.
Maps can be sourced here if your interested - http://maps.festy.org/
It does work without mobile signal, just needs GPS obviously.
also have a look at a program called Aura by Sygic it uses TomTom mapping and is very fast and accurate on my HTC Desire HD.
A very nice feature is simulated 3D topography which worked nicely up north during the cyclone
