[il-talk] Nearby explorer

[Kelly Pierce]

I just sent Melissa a private note for her to call me. I use virtually
all the features of Nearby Explorer without issue.  Each of the
navigation applications requires a separate familiarization.  If
others are having the same issue, I could answer the questions on the
list or we could have a conference call or meet in person.
