mary, you make a very good point and i was aware of this. i wanted charles
to know the per cent of battery from different apps. i agree, i lost

so i also would like to see the maps to be downloaded on the device. i have
all the u s downloaded for navigon and have over 700 aps on my phone and
still have tons of room.
