ipod touch questions

Hi guys
I'm really new to anything Apple. I have a few questions could anyone help out?
I know there's some great games on iphone (Plants vs Zombies, Tower Bloxx) but do they all work on the latest ipod touch?
I'd also like to put some really large custom google maps on the ipod touch, copied over from my PC. I assume this is possible, but can you also zoom in/out?

Basic questions I know, so appologies.

Thanks for helping

1) All AppStore games that you can download will work on the iPod Touch

2) No, you cannot transfer maps from google maps, the app is a stand alone application with no intergration with anything else.

3) Yes you can zoom in and out

For the maps, there is OffMaps, which does what you want to do (offline maps from Google Maps) apart from the copying of maps from computer to iPod (if I remember correctly).

Hi guys
Thank you for a quick response, really pleased about the games.
Regarding the maps though, as I wasn't really clear. I just wanted to 'prtScn' some Google maps, alter slightly in Photoshop, save as Jpegs and then transfer over to the Gallery(?) folder on the iPod touch. I'm hoping this is possible

You can transfer images (maps) to the photo app on the iPod but they won't be usable in Google Maps
