Is there a way to zoom in on the map? The street names are so small and blurred, it's difficult to navigate. Am I missing something here?

I saved a copy of the map from the WT, thinking I could enlarge it in my photo-imaging software, but there aren't enough pixels for a clear enlargement. I even searched online for a street map for the Isle of Capri.

The "U're Here" feature is so helpful for getting around, but the street names on the map are just too small. What to do...what to do think

Hi Carrie,
unfortunately there is no zoom-in option. This is something we will improve in the sequel. However, all of the text which is *really* important for the game is actually readable. So if you find a blurry street name, this means that this is name is not really indispensable for the game solution. hope this helps!

I'm having the same problem. I can barely make out the names of the streets on the map. Even the bold type is blurred and a problem.

It's making a beautiful game very hard to play for long periods of time because of eyestrain.

Silvio, isn't there some way you could post a hi-res image online for people to download?

Thanks,
Melanie

I'm not sure if this will help but see if you can print this out and see the City better - Capri map .

You're doing a sequel, Silvio? I can't wait!!!!!


I really enjoy mornings. I just wish they came later in the day.

That is clearer, Marita, but it's not the whole map, is it? It seems that it's just the center of the map. Am I mistaken?

Did you already use a magnifier? Perhaps a stupid idea, but you can try at least.

Have you tried downloading a loupe program and using the magnifier? You can get a trial version of one here ...

Jenny, your mention of the loupe program reminded me that my (98) computer came with a Magnifier which may or may not work while playing the game (it's found in Accessories > Accessibility). If that doesn't work, I'll come back for the Doc Russ loupe. Thanks for kickin' into action some stagnant ol' brain cells! Uh, thanks for the good idea.
