Neolite, The only difference there is you have to download it as you go like Telenav or what ever at&t uses for blackberries and other smartphones. The downsides of that are one you are constantly downloading which you would need 3g to do so right there you are using your 3g radio as well as the gps which means you are losing alot of battery life. Another down side is Telenav costs $10 a month now I'm not saying there wont be anyone else that will make it a flat rate but right now there isnt. I would rather buy the maps and have them stored on my phone.
Also I seem to remeber reading something about how tomtom or one of those guys was saying that if you purchased their software for your blackberry you wouldnt have to pay for updates when they came out. That was however just for the life of your phone so it didnt move with you when you upgraded to a new phone.
If however you are just saying use google maps for turn by turn directions thats an entirely different thing. I would much rather have the voice prompts as well as the 3D views with arrows telling me to turn left in 100ft. That is one thing I really miss about my treo.
As far as geocaching I 100% agree and would love to see that!
