It seems to me that the activation of CloseView is handled in the
exact opposite of what would be convenient.
CloseView is the kind of utility that you would want to have off most
of the time, but turn it on temporarily when you need it. As it
comes, you are forced to have it on when you boot, then must dig into
the control panel to turn it off. How did something so
counter-intuitive make it into the System Release!
Also, here is a strange trick. Turn CloseView on. Go into the
Control Panel and open the MAP cdev. Now turn CloseView off (with the
keystroke, not the Control Panel). You will notice that you now have
a zoomed in view of the map that stays zoomed as you look around. Is
that documented or just a bizarre (and useful) bug?
