Peter,
That is a wonderful report. I too have wished for that country
reference.
As you say, the cities don't have their country along with them so if
you
don't know what country your over, and don't recognize the city, you
don't
know the country.
We will add this to our wish list. One thing is to simply have the
country
along with the city name. The bigger challenge is to know which country
map you are over.

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
