again, i was mearly just trying to clear up any confusion that
ambishop's post might cause others.

ok, so if i read ur post correctly, the 1st version had only 2 viewing
options (Perspective and Travel Direction). the 2nd version has all
3 viewing options (Pointing North, Perspective and Travel Direction).
w/ this 2nd version, Travel Direction is always visable; however, a
user can toggle between Perspective and Pointing North. if this is
the case, that clears a whole heck of a lot up for me.

i think, what most users are requesting is, instead of the toggle
being between Perspective and Pointing North, it should be between
Perspective and Travel Direction; keaving Pointing North always available.

does that make sense?
