I haven't played with this yet - but it looks promising for caching GMaps and other online maps to a device:

You need to take it through several steps - but for getting maps to my Blackberry it might be an interesting add on for when I'm not in tower range.

(note, I still think smartphone GPS cannot compete with dedicated GPS for 'adventuring' - but there are plenty of area here in VT and the ADKs with poor coverage)

I just started trying Oruxmaps out for the HTC Eris. I was mainly interested in getting some way to cache maps for a Scotland trip this summer. The little I've used it, seems to work. Quite the range of maps that can be saved through the use of the Trekbuddy program that you also need to use to actually download the maps, even the UK OS maps are available.
