That's a good tip. I didn't know that worked with 2003.

With my new computer (Fujitsu P2120), the Function key (required to shift
from arrow to PgUp/Dn keys) is located way to the left. On my old computer
(Libretto C110), the Function key was right next to these keys, making one
handed zooming in and out easy. I need to find out if there's a hack to
remap or swap keys to allow one handed zoom operation.

Another nice thing I liked about the old Street Atlas interface were the
easily accessible key commands. Alt VD and Alt VR toggled direction and
route displays on and off. Alt GA turned off automatic pan. Alt GM brought
up the satellite monitor. It was all very easy to operate with one hand.

I suppose 2003 has similar shortcuts. Maybe I'll just have to bite the
bullet and learn the new interface, since Delorme obviously wants to phase
out the old one. The voice navigation is something I haven't tried yet.
Maybe that's what I need to learn how to do.
