Are you saying the zooming works fine with the trackpad but not with other hardware buttons?

I was wondering if the problem was the automatic zooming over-riding what you were trying to do manually. If so, that can be turned off in File -> Properties, Advanced tab.


Another potential problem is that the hx4700 has built in software to turn long presses into 'other' buttons - for example, a long push on button 1 is actually button 6. Is this your problem?

David, thanks for reply.
Yes, the zoom function work with onscreen +- and with trackpad, not with assigned hw button. I never understand what auto zoom 2d, 3d was; btw i deselcted it but still the same result.

How can i learn more on "other" buttons? 1 to 6 etc? any of hardware button may have "other function assigned?

The auto zoom is Navigator changing the zoom factor of the map according to what it feels your needs are. It works very well, especially in 3D view - as you slow down for a roundabout, the map zooms in.


The button pressing stuff - on the hx4700, a long press on button 1 is button 6, a long press on button 2 is button 7, a long press on button 3 is button 8, and a long press on button 4 is button 9. Most software, including TomTom Navigator 3, doesn't understand buttons 6 to 9, which means that long button presses can't be interpreted by application software.

Does a short push on a hardware button zoom one step?


I'm still not sure whether this is an hx4700 specific feature, a WM2003SE iPAQ specific feature or a built in WM2003SE feature.
