<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This puts a north arrow in the top left corner of the map image. The LABEL ANGLE is set dynamically via URL. I don't recall exactly why we used a label instead of a symbol, but there must've been a good reason ...</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">In MS 5, the "label" appears incredibly small (I can barely make out it's shape, it's a few pixels big), and playing with SIZE seems to do nothing at all. I've changed the TEXT value, and the label seems to change shape but still no change in size.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Anyone know what's going on? I didn't see any documented changes that look like they should affect this …</FONT>
