[DUG] TUMONZ SDK beta program

[Guy.Brown at sungard.com]

When using a map I expect it to behave in a similar way to products I
have used before (Joel's first law of software usability).  Mapworlds
topomap lets you pan with the mouse without holding down any key.  Of
course the main difference is that it's a image based solution so
zooming is a must less used feature.  Still my expectation for the
interface is that I can use the mouse to pan around, then hold down a
key and use the mouse to zoom.  My typical usage of the map is to find
some tramping track I want to do and then pan around the area to see
what the access/other features are.  Much panning, little zooming.  I
have to be at a fairly low level to see all the terrain features
relevant for tramping/hunting.  

Numerous times I have accidentally zoomed out to far, then lost the
location I was looking at and had to search for it again.

I realise that there is another gui mode in Tumonz but when I tried it
there was another common feature that was now harder to get to.  Exactly
what escapes me for now.

Tumonz is still a better solution that the google products for now.
Google maps doesn't show terrain features and Google Earth doesn't have
enough resolution to be useful in NZ.

Question for Phil:  If I purchase the property module for version 2 will
it still be able to be used with version 3?

Try Shift instead of space bar. Same effect, different key.
