To record a new name & address, fill out the box in full then press the Save button. To retrieve an existing name & address, fill in all or part of one or more of the fields then press the Find button. The thumb nail map is simply to convey a general sense of where the address is located. In the case of the UK it shows the address's Post Area as given by the first two letters of the Post Code. The particular country displayed on the map is always the one whose name appears in the Country field. This also adjusts the format of the rest of the name and address to follow the standard form for postal addresses for the country concerned. A full help commentary is available for this applet.
The locator map obtained by clicking the Map tab at the left of the applet screen is quite different from the thumb nail 'annunciator' map above. The locator is based on true high precision spherical lat/long co-ordinates. It places the address location at screen centre and shows surrounding towns, cities and possibly other geographic features. It is intended for use in conjunction with mobile navigational aids like GPS or terrestrial hyperbolic systems. Although not shown in this summary of Personal Link, its essential functionality is the same as the map system used in the air navigation applet.
NOTE: The applet displayed above is in fact only a rolling demonstrator of the real one. The addresses it displays are fictitious. Any similarity they may have with those of real people or companies is unintentional co-incidence.
