Trending Topic: “Texas Rangers Auction”
One of the hot topics of the day led me to this quick example of a ticket selection document. I know it won’t answer the questions burning in Texas, “Mark Cuban or Nolan Ryan” but it could help you buy the best seats once you know which new owner you will be purchasing them from.

The final step was to create the buttons: ON which turns the map on, OFF which turns it off and HOME which repositions the camera to a default position.
This took about 10 minutes to create. Here is a movie of the document in action…
