you would have to make sure all the settings and saved maps are on the storage card and stored on there and not the main memory..... i would ahve to look into that more since i dont really use google maps too much sicne sprint nav is free for me.

yes it can and i love it personally, very easy to use and fast, also gives you updates on whether or not there is an accident, constructions, backup, etc before you get caught up at a stand still. when it recognizes it you can select an option that appears on the screen on whether to avoid the traffic or keep going. you can also set return trips, set to no highways, no toll roads, and all the other fancy features that you see with tomtom and garmin gps units :) and the best thing is that all maps are updated automatically too so you always have up to date information and not have to load multiple maps :) the voice turn by turn directions are pretty cool and come in handy too :)

so would i have problems with it being out in the sticks? with only 1x connections? and is it possible to save it on sd card because i always flash different roms?

You don't have to save anything except for the sprint nab cab...all of your previous addresses that you have gotten directions to will be saved on their server so even after a new flash you can load up sprint nav and choose recent destinations and it will pull up your most recent locations
