Google maps not loading Correctly?

Lately it seems that google maps is having a hard time. When zooming in and out of area it frequently gets stuck and I and up seeing a checkered pattern of the same section of the map. Anything I can do besides rebooting the phone?





On a realated rant why the heck cant I download maps to my phone? Why is apple against this? If Garmin can fit north american maps on a 2Gig memory card why cant they have something for IPhones? The Rogers network is no where good enough in Nova Scotia to be able to download maps on the highway.





The only good news is that if you set up directions to and from somewhere the phone can display the purple route. So I can match the blue dot to the purple line but its all on gray background.
