This is a little instruction guide on how to use maps in iOS apps. I am finding that when I show my apps to some people they are missing the point about touching the screen to interact with it. They stare at the red pins on a map and don't seem to get the point that they should touch them and see what happens. This document provides this basic training. If you think this is helpful, this can be used as an html document that you include in your app. Here are all the files you need to include in your app--the html document and the image files. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/39lwlcdifzfz5sf/J43oRO7v-U There is no technical wizardry here, just some good, old fashioned word-processing with graphics to help make the point. Please let me know if you have any trouble accessing the files in dropbox. Title Comments I receive so much help from all of you I wanted to share something that might we useful.

Susan and I discussed this, and it's amazing how many people (especially from the older generations) are hesitant to tap buttons in an app. This guide should help them feel more comfortable doing so for sure!
