Abstract                : I have used 2 main features:
                          
                          1. tripquest

                          the trip. Includes details such as type of roads, tolls, 
                          speed limits, 
                          expected time for journey, etc.

                          pan, scan in, scan out, display icons for several useful
                          locations - e.g airports, hotels, businesses, points of 
                          interest, ...
                          
                          Very 
                          good down to street level in USA.
                          Can easily find location of a specified hotel, or business,
                          for instance.
                          
                          In most other countries, OK to city level & major highways.
