Sorry to be pedantic, but "Externally" is spelt with a double L ;-)

Speaking of which, Street View and Map Directions (not Maps Directions) are obvious, however, Externally... is not. On my phone, Externally... opens the same application as Map Directions, making me wonder if you designed this to be configurable in some way? Can AQ be configured to open a different app, like Google Earth? If so, how is this done and would you please provide some examples.

No no don't worry don't hesitate to tell me if you see any spelling errors...

Concerning the open externally command, it uses an Android feature called "Intents": AlpineQuest says it wants display a particular location, and all installed applications on the phone that are able to display locations can "answer" and are added to the displayed application list. Depending on what's you have installed, this list can be different, but you can not configure anything else...

OK, no problem. I'm more than happy with Street View &Maps.
