If you post the name of the app we can get a look. I'm assuming you set the subject in the control panel and it shows in the control panel?

HI again.. a) You're right! The email-screen was not honoring the subject line entered in the control panel. This 'broke' about a week ago when we modified some things to include the Caption of an image if you were emailing an image from a gallery. Great catch. Fixed. b) Just an idea: After looking at your app, and it's hundreds of locations on dozens of maps (very cool!) it occurred to me that refreshing the app's configuration file over slow connection could take a while. This is because the configuration file is SO LARGE (with all the map locations). If you have a website you park a few files on, you could improve the app's performance greatly by using the dataURL property on your map screens to point to a file of locations on your website. Each map would have it's own file. This approach means you would have ZERO locations entered in the control panel for each map and intead pulls these from your website. This approach would 'lighten the load' alot and speed up your app. Just a thought. See the link on the map screen for a sample file. To save you from having to re-type everything, you could easly cut-n-paste the locations from your BT_config.txt file. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks David for the fix and the data URL is working great for me but if i was to use the control panel to input new locations and use it as like an index and then get my info from the BT_config.txt file for my data URL would this work Thanks Will

Sure. The trick is to keep the BT_config.txt file as small as possible - if you can. This really only matter if your BT_config.txt file gets extreme in size (hundreds and hundreds of items). You could use the control panel to manage locations, then cut-n-paste the locations from your config file. You would paste them into your own file parked on your server. This would allow you to remove the items from BT_config.txt (making it smaller) and use the locations you pasted into you hosted config file for each map screen.

Awesome...glad you got it improved. Sooooo many ways to do this but keeping an eye on the 'size' of each configuration file is a key point. The smaller the faster. Cheers
