Been there, tried that. Downloaded the software at work to a usb thumb
drive (26k dialup at home is all I can get).

Came home, installed & was prompted to download the actual maps. Duh.
Not gonna happen on a 26k dialup. They need to give you the whole
package when you do the download.

You really want to download all maps of the whole world on your initial
download? I hope not!

I suggest you don't blame the guys who make a freeware package for your lack
of a decent connection!
