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:

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.

There's now a map of all hits, it can be found from Statistics->Maps or by clicking here.

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...

I see the Benelux is the hitplace to be.

Can you make that also possible for the maps of a single note?
