Hi Zombie!
I feel compelled to tell you that maps on the Pocket eDGe seem a bit small and fiddly to me. Maybe I just don't have the best apps or internet pages. I know the PE is a bargain right now, but if you can afford it you might prefer the 10.1" LCD with 9.7" e-ink of the full-sized enTourage eDGe -- especially if you read mostly at a table or with a lapdesk or book pillow (i.e. stationary).
If you do get an eDGe, people here and at
http://www.entourageedge.com/forums/forum.php can advise you on where/how to pull up and store the best maps.
Good luck! Hope to hear more from you!
