I should add that I use this very successfully on my own, the single finger to move the map around, a double-tap to zoom in, a single tap with two fingers to zoom out. The latest version (2.0?) has excellent hazard symbols that pop up on affected routes and this save me going onto a motorway (freeway) when there was a serious collision and resulting lines of traffic ahead. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Producion ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
