A couple simple tests around York showed this worked well enough
for me, but actually, I'm not sure what the technological best
would be.  Ideally, I'd  like the max. zoom to be higher
resolution, and more zooming in urban areas to get more detail.

I wanted to shift from York to London, and had to zoom out
several times to the national map.  This is fast enough with a
cable modem but at 56K it would be a trial.  Perhaps a Return to
key map button?   (Changing the Zoom Size to 25 and zooming out
allows for a faster escape, but that's more keystrokes.)

I tried the Query Feature but got error messages.  Is it
connected to any data?

Looking forward to full implementation so I can tell a few
people!
