I believe that the maps you load to your phone using their maploader program are only for offline browsing, and do not work for navigation. I would just email their customer support to verify this though. They have a support department you know

With "pre loaded maps" you have less data downloaded to your C702, but you can�t access the stored maps without a working GPRS/3G connection (the application will not start). With preloaded maps you have a average data consumption about 30-60 kb/ hour while driving. Unfortunately there�s no complete onboard solution for C702 available from Wayfinder. Hope it helps a bit.
