Yeah the free Canuck maps provided by MS' site is really limited. For Toronto, its only good if you're living downtown or something. On the otherhand, if you got a copy of MapPoint or Street&Trips exporting any region of maps is pretty cool. I don't use GPS, so I can't comment on MS' PS' GPS features -- but the 3meg slice of GTA map I cropped out from MapPoint is definately cool. The feature I like about PocketStreet is that when you click on a contact, you can tell it to find it on the map automatically.

Cheers.
