[Loadstone] Show area and checkpoints only

[Shawn Kirkpatrick]

A mass point checking feature could run in to two unexpected problems. The 
first is running out of memory. Since you wouldn't know how many results 
will be in a given search there's no telling how much memory the list will 
need. Some of these phones don't have what you'd call a lot of memory to 
work with so this could be a real problem. The second problem would be if 
you get the list in to ram then you have to process it with every position 
change. That's going to be very computationally expensive and probably quite 
slow.
