Realtime maps on the other hand behave exactly like ecu learning ... they reside in the area of memory that only persists while the ecu has power. As a result, they can be changed an unlimited number of times, but if you lose power you lose the map. No big deal of course, since the map is still stored on the accessport and it only takes 10 seconds to switch it back in.

Awesome. That sounds just like the user tunable aspects of the EcuTek... little things like a boost multiplier, idle speed, timing adavnce, etc can be modified, but are lost if you lose power to the ECU. It sounds like Cobb's gone a little bit further and has added a few other options. Pretty slick IMO!
