I'm going to make sure it works at a minimum on an 800x600 screen. I'm not going to try to tackle anything less than that.
It's just like when designing a project at work...you spec out the minimum requirements and if people want to use it, they must meet them. If not, you can't. I know it sounds harsh but you have to draw a line somewhere.

For me, I want to design this along the lines of what Marvin did with his S&T Keys (nice program BTW). It would be great to have it run "full screen" with an embedded menu button to display/undisplay the frontend (in my case, DigitalFX) buttons. When I am in GPS mode, I love being able to use full screen like I currently can with IG.

On a side note, I completely forgot about Mappoint being "built in" to RR. I'm sure MP2008 should be out relatively soon. Maybe I should look at the current app and see if it can just be altered to fit my needs.

Either way, I hope to get on this soon....thanks
