thanks
yes is should work (buy your gps wont be selectable until you buy the upgrade for google earth or use the google earth road runner plugin)
google earth gets its maps from the internet, however it is possible to cache the maps on your had drive, so a internet connection isnt needed
its 35mb because the maps arnt stored until you start browsing, then the size will increase
you can reduce the size iguidance takes up by selecting map regions, and only installing areas you will go to @ 1gb id imagine thats all of the maps!
