Ick! Touchpads are for the dexterously challenged.
Trackpoints forever!
Of course nowadays it’s almost impossible to just get a Trackpoint, so we’re forced to take a Touchpad as well. Personally, I just turn the Touchpad off in the BIOS and forge on.
Talk about ICK! Don’t lean too hard or you overshot your target!
Those things were as bad as the Cirrus electric trim! 
So that’s why there’s an 8 x 10 photo of you in the encyclopedia under “Dexterously Challenged”. 
You dawg, you were not suppose to find that!!!
I thought I had that buried in the deep recesses of the 'pedia! So much for depending on pages sticking together like the good ole days. 
James, thank you, thank you. I hate the danged glide pad because my hands are big and it is hard enough to type as it is. I taped a business card over mine for a long time until I rermembered to do what you did.
Allen, apples are for horses to eat and then make horse apples. :mrgreen:
You’re very welcome. I share your large hands affliction and looked upon my first Trackpoint equipped laptop as a release from an affliction after dealing with one of the first Trackpad equipped Toshibas.
I still own that now ancient laptop (two of them actually) and it’s amazing how frequently people want to know, given its folding full-size keyboard, if it’s a new model:

You could tell them that it is the latest and greatest texting device and sell it to them for $499 8) … but, we digress from the Map Bug subject here.
Pan/zoom persistence is fixed. Your browser will now remember the last ten sessions of maps. No more getting stuck.
Thank you.
My thanks added. It works for me also.

Thank YOU, staff. Works here too.
I started noticing this bug late last week. When you are tracking all flights between 2 airports (e.g. KORD to KSFO), the map used to display all airborne flights between these 2 airports. Lately i’ve noticed the map is totally blank (i.e. no map), but the map navigation buttons are displaying. The flight tracker list below seems to be OK.
If I toggle around with the buttons, i.e. Classic to Earth View, or zoom in and out, a map is finally displayed, but no flights are displayed.
Is anybody else having the same problem? I’m using Safari 5.0.1. and Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
Thanks
Confirmed. This was an oversight when deploying the new session management system. It will be fixed in a few hours.
Fixed.
A variation on the theme of where the tracking map stays has popped up for me the last few days.
For a while the last state of the tracking map stayed where it was last positioned. Now, it is always at the 100mi/200k range. Zoom in/out works, it is just not retained. If I delete the Session cookie is always comes back to the Zoom=6 setting.
An inconvenience at most.
