Agree with Cal here,
Better, just put them in, or adjacent to (in a Sz say), each countries Capital. When you scroll over them it explains it. That way you don’t have to go hunting for it each time and they are all together, right at home plate.
I appreciate some countries have MANY NO’s especially countries like Germany when Alpha + is used, but the boxes shouldn’t get in the way for the most part.
You will probably only have probs in Berlin or London, but take a look at it.
Looking forward to a new global map! With all the Alpha + No’s! and a new sharp look!
P.S.
Putting them on the Tool Bar sux :S
