[Loadstone] Feature wishes

[monty at loadstone-gps.com]

Hi Ari,

Thanks for your suggestions as usual.

We are working to make "Show Area" more accessible in the next version 
from Navigation mode and Exploration mode.

We are also working on Exploration mode - trying to implement an easier 
method looking around virtually verses moving.

Best regards,
   Monty
