Hoovahh,
Thanks for that great example. I can code in LV but I prefer LW. In fact I think both graphically and textually (just like the example you provided).
But try this: Print out that page and navigate between the two points. Try just to follow the map - not all the streets are listed - that would be difficult. Now use the directions - turn by turn would be easier to follow because it has more detail in the context of where are going and what street names you will see.
Now, let me take it a step further. GPS is the way to go..... stop.... You are probably now saying, See! Graphical is better!. If so, hold on there cowboy... GPS could be both, the graphic part where you watch the map (which is great), or the voice directions (more akin to text) where you don't have to take your eyes off the road (much better).
So whenever I use a Googlemap printout to navigate, I tend to follow the text and use the graphical map as only a guide. But I prefer GPS where I can hear my directions and not use any visual queues or instructions.
About the hieroglyphs: It was more to indicate an archaic language (not so much a bad one). Did you get the more subtle point that I was making?
Look at all the symbols and all the pretty colors [laugh]. Frankly, I though I would hear more objection to the pre-school book vs the more scholarly book [smile].

P.S.
I was sent a personal note blasting me about my posts. Hey, I am just here to stimulate a conversation (which appears to be happening) and to hopefully tell folks not to drink the LabVIEW Kool Aid alone, drink the CVI Punch as well!
