I havent used the dials yet for any of my mapping but its something i want to try when the car is running again!
I found it easy enough to map at cruise on the live map display, but havent as yet tried it on hard acceleration so not sure how easy that will be!
Otherwise its just as you say, do a a little bit of a run and see what sort of changes you need to make and where, and then edit the main fuel / ignition tables.
I have to admit its not the friendliest software that i have seen, but its workable so thats something. May well buy the S60 and see how easy the new software makes things.......
