Re: Message box


 

Michael, Andrew said menu choices will get you where you want to go on your smaller screen. Then you say too bad? Did I misunderstand this exchange?

That is too bad. Perhaps I am misinformed or have misunderstood, but I
thought the whole purpose of APRS was to cater to the mobile user to
provide a quick and easy method of reporting position, status, and brief
messages. Mobile operation, by its nature, necessitates smaller screens
and demands minimal operator actions to accomplish a task. The system
should be driven to meet that situation, rather than make it more
difficult for the primary purpose.

Maybe I am missing the point of APRS. Perhaps further investigation is
in order.
