Kevin,
I don't know if replay would be a high priority feature. In any event, I
should think there would be other features that would be added before replay
even though it is a very handy feature.
I forgot to add some annotations to the replay. That can be helpful too.
Good suggestion Jim about loading the appropriate maps and POIs.
Mike
