I like the idea, and think that an automatic switch would be better, since if *I* were using it, and strolling around somewhere, I'd hate to have to reach for a switch each time I sat down. To use my 'following directions' example, if I'm heading to a place I don't know, and am following written directions, I would want to have the next waypoint name visible while moving, but the rest of the list (or section of list) visible when I stopped, so that as I walk, I know what to look for, and when I stop to look around, I see more info. -- Pete Hardie | Goalie, DVSG Dart Team Scientific Atlanta | Digital Video Services Group |
