3D Perspective Potential

Does anybody know why the Perspective mode omits street names? When I first found out about the mode, it was a novelty for about 10 minutes.

However in practicality it's pretty much worthless. Take for instance a situation where you just want to run the map in an area you're not familiar with and need to see streets as you come up on them.

My guess is a memory issue.

Interestingly, the E65/E66 NAVI03 system, which is the same code base as the MKIV, has street names in perspective mode. Furthermore, the NAVI02 unit, which is also code-related, does not show street names in perspective mode. Therefore, I suspect that there is a switch somewhere in the code that would turn street names on. Kind of like what we did with V26-- perspective was available, but it only took a hack.
