If I have to pay to try the offline maps, not sure about it. The  
reviews say the feature doesn't work and I don't want to pay (I know,  
it's just $2.99) to find that out.

If it were possible to try offline maps in some limited way (e.g.  
limit the size, area that I can download) then i would like that

Also, I'm skeptical that routing works well... in this case, no fault  
of the app but I know osm data quality not quite there yet for many  
places.

Still, I'd be willing to try the free app sometime once I get around  
to deleting old music and podcasts to make some space.

Cheers,
Katie
