thanks dude. I've already switched to openstreet and thankfully they have traffic too, but I don't like all the color on the maps, particularly the different colors for different highways. It's hard to follow the route when the backgrounds keep changing.

So long as one of them works I'm good. Maybe it's good that I have get away from Google. Thing is though, I don't know how I got on the "leech list" since I've not downloaded many maps from them and certainly. My googlemap db was only 135MB.
