Vance,
Out of the 50 or so responses I have seen from Users and Microsoft,
yours is the only one that mentions the 0 deg. Longitude idea. I use
MapPoint 2004 both North America and the Europe Version and the "little
brothers" Autoroute and Streets & Trips.
Interesting as the maps I make of central London will not open on a PDA,
but as long as the longitude is at least .5 degree's off of Zero, they open
just fine. First solution to this bug that I have seen !
Thanks alot for that one.
