Yes, I think that would be cool.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] Africa trip and suggestion about countries
Hi All,
I'm just back from a trip to Ethiopia, where I was training in a music
school in Addis Ababa.
Sendero was running for most of the flight out, and thanks to the European
and African city POIs it was truly fascinating to track the flight east
through France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Bulgaria, then, I think, south
through Turkey, Greece, and then into North Africa. We stopped in Amman,
Jordan, where I found that we were 33 miles east of Jericho, and about 45
from Jerusalem, where there were a whole bunch of Mike's user POI
foot-prints. It made the flight a thousand times more interesting, but
here's my suggestion.
I had to guess the countries we were flying over by trying to find
familiar city names or just guessing from the language, but would it be
possible to have a built-in country reference, so that even if you don't
have the maps and POIs, you would always know which country you were
flying over, anywhere in the world?
Of course it isn't a huge priority, but maybe Mike and Charles could think
about whether it's relatively easy to do?
In any case, as ever, Way to go Sendero.
Best,
Peter
