[Electronics-talk] GPS and IPod Touch

[Christopher Chaltain]

You can also download the maps ahead of time with Google Maps using 
wifi. After this, you don't need to have a network connection. Of 
course, you don't have access to the route you didn't already punch in 
while on wifi.

The TomTom app also works off line since it's maps are stored locally. I 
don't hear it discussed much, so I don't know how accessible it is, but 
you could check for a review on applevis.com.
