this is a bit off topic
but Gerardus Mercator was a Belgian born in Rupelmonde
I've lived there in the village for a few years
and he's very famous
just wanted to add some history
I hope you don't mind

Is it difficult to find a better map? The present version is not very precise with border lines. Here is one example:
http://www.eurobilltracker.eu/index.php ... 3bb3e162b7
On the present map Cottbus is located in the middle of Poland.
We contemporary Germans are not so keen on invading Poland.

History has proven that it is indeed difficult. If you have a better map, feel free to send it to me. I'd prefer the Mercator projection.

Is it possible to draw the borders over the dots? If it's like this and the map gets filled, you won't see where the dots are located.

Great! Now another question (whe're not that easy satisfied
): is it possible to draw the dots of your own hits also in your own map (account details) and connect them with a line? I think that would be interesting...

The map now also shows land and sea areas in different colours.
Can you make that also possible for the maps of a single note?
