Hi Che. The accessible mode is still a work in progress. You should explain your troubles to the developer so he knows what to work on. I think you're having the same problem as I am where locations seem to disappear off the map just when you need to go to them. It certainly isn't as easy as Smugglers3. That's for certain. Still, when the accessible mode is all done, Smugglers4 is definitely going to be a far supperior game. We just have to be patient and vocal about what does and doesn't work for us.
