Things are working pretty well with my setup, and I've made some minor changes to the mobile to make it perhaps be more sensitive. While we've already talked about the OpenMap layer, and that the label database isn't imported. But I'm zoomed in on midtown Phoenix and I see many labeled roads like &q...
