flight, fly Explanation: they want it as "flight"? give them what they want I don't think it will sound in English more weird than it is in Russian. |

move smoothly, smooth movement Explanation: Please see the context (Russian) below. http://help.2gis.ru/pc/full/settings/general/ Отключить «ПЕРЕЛЕТ» при смене объекта карты Отключение опции ПЛАВНОГО ПЕРЕМЕЩЕНИЯ по карте к искомому объекту. ПЕРЕЛЕТАТЬ к объектам на границе карты при клике ... Он означает, что если кликнуть по объекту, который находится на границе карты, то карта ПЛАВНО СМЕСТИТСЯ на несколько сантиметров в сторону центра экрана, а информационная карточка объекта откроется над этим объектом. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 48 mins (2011-09-13 23:09:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I guess you may use "shift" as well. |

take Explanation: as in "Clicking on the address [automatically] takes one to the corresponding building on the map". This sounds natural enough, but it may be quite tricky when trying to use the same term as a noun, hence low confidence. Unfortunately, there may not be much choice here - that is, if you want it to read like a natural English text. Cheers, Susan. |

Zoom Explanation: Zoom is usually increase the size, but it can also be go directly to. I think that is what is meant here but I agree with alexander, it's kind of ridiculous. |

relocator Explanation: This reduces complex operation. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 days (2011-10-14 18:51:12 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- I feel it is some refreshing operation. |

pointer Explanation: From the context, it is changing the pointing position on a map, as I understand. " swith off the pointer while changing the object on the map" "On clicking at adifferent address,the pointer appeares at that place on the map"......In this case , "pointer" may the right word. Thank you |
