Here's a similar shot but you can see that I'm approaching the waypoints. Using Google Earth to open the directions I saved for use in GPSRouteX originally, the route gets plotted out on Google Earth, waypoints and all.

As you can see from some of the screenshots, the resolution of the imagery varies. To get it into the cache, after plotting out the route in GE, I clicked on the 'play tour' button and made sure it flew both slowly and would dwell on each waypoint for 15 seconds. I walked away while it played.

Since the cache is limited to 2gb, it ran out somewhere near Frederick, MD. It still works when it runs out, but the road names and displays don't show up anymore and you are essentially driving across a blurry photograph of the area.
