I do, I live in the DC metro area, and take plenty of trips out to WVa or PA or southern Va or southern MD. Not exactly urban areas, but this generally isnt a huge problem. Google maps can still remember the directions, and the route line, even if it cant pull in specific tiles. Ive had it route me even as the background remained untiled-- it was still able to get GPS to figure out where it was on the precomputed map.

I dont suppose Id recommend it as your sole source of guidance on a survival trip to Alaska or the Rockies or something, but its generally more than sufficient for driving directions unless youre somewhere truly backwoods (in a way that Pa and WVa arent).

The fact that you even make such a statement proves you're listening to right wing demagogs.

Your proof is faulty. At least 50% of my news comes from NPR, the rest from Drudge report. That combination is hardly what you would call a bastion of right-wing demagogues.

Is it at all possible Im right wing and also not a huge fan of spending ridiculous amounts on defense? That possibly I have reservations about F22 fighters, when its very possible all we've done is do the research that a spy can carry back to their own country (considering there isnt much wartime use for such a plane right now)? That Im not a huge fan of bailouts at all?

Nah, lets just paint all conservatives the same. Surely there isnt a legitimate reason for thinking government shouldnt run nearly as much as it does-- especially not the fact that it violates our founding charter.

He says he supports gay marriage as a personal opinion but he quickly notes it should be left up to the states -- which is really no different than any of the republican candidates when it comes down to what will get done.

No, it is different, and the fact that your position is "as long as I get what I want I dont give two craps about what the Bill of Rights says about state sovereignty" is part of the reason the federal government is such a monster today.

Try to remember that there is a REASON we have separate states, rather than one gigantic collective.
