Thread: Newbie Question regarding destination summary screen

But you free up the space used by those three fields on the right-hand side of the screen.

Are the fields smaller? Compare with next street it doesn't look like it. I do not know how to explain it any clearer. Ok, one last analogy. Imagine a computer monitor as the map. Now imagine putting a pen holder (representing the data fields) at one corner. Now take that same pen holder and lie it horizontally in the middle of the display. You haven't reduced anything, as a matter of fact you made it worst because now it obscured center of display and not at the side. If any obscuring is done, I preferred it at a corner.

Subjectively. And speaking of popularilty look at the polls for which skins people use or like in this forum.

The info/warning about not being fully cracked is not to dissuade people from using it. You can use it if you can get license for the contents you're interested in.

I think you already complained about the "finger friendly" issue in another post and I replied that it's easy to change the size of the buttons (one of my mod for NextGen does just that.) Why make huge buttons that waste space if people don't need it? BTW, you must have one large finger if you think the default size buttons are small.
