And that brings up the last point I made. How about if you had to drive 20 miles away…how much detail can you really show on a 4 inch screen. Figure here in Denver, blocks are about 10 to the mile North/South and 20 to the mile East/West. Showing a 20 mile by 20 mile projection on a 4" screen would require a 200 line x 400 line display. While that's no problem…it's not very readable (so to speak) so I would hope the software is smart enough to simply show major streets when you zoom out that far.
