This is great David. I finally got around to trying this out this morning. I was too stupid to work it out at first so ended up not really using it (I'd only done the "NOW!" bit 2-3 times). Later I read your instructions more thoroughly and managed to get it working great (and got those 2-3 POIs marked), and I'm sure these new changes will help a lot too.
A slight problem with my own setup is that I use my mobile phone as GPS and for recording audio. Because I can't see the GPS screen when recording audio (and I can't switch screens while recording audio) I basically don't have a way to say the current time, I just have to keep counting. That's my own problem though, nothing I expect you to fix :-) The marker dragging though should be very useful for syncing.
