I remember it being iffy when I used it back then, the 8320 didn't have GPS so it was trying to use cell towers to figure out the turn by turn. It was slower, but not as slow as the connection speed would seem because every page load wasn't dependent on a thousand different CDNs and a hundred different trackers.

A dedicated GPS was essential for cross country (if you didn't want paper maps or printouts).
