Don't stop pushing Jerome- I hope you can demonstrate Nepal-or-larger working models during our Toronto summit Oct 10-12.
See you 7AM EDT Thursday on our weekly call, if you have time for our unusually early meeting this week: http://tinyurl.com/xsceminutes (Several of our early design discussions on offline mapping began on [email protected], so am bringing that thread full circle.)
