While it's absolutely great ( found our house in little old NZ ) in just a 
few minutes. BUT if you have a fast Internet connection it's a real 
glutton for packets. We did nearly a gigabyte of traffic in an afternoon 
scooting around our town, having a very quick look at the Horn of Africa, 
and a few moments having a squiz at Manhattan. We've blown our bit ration.
