I tried that, but the nails in europe are packed that close
that they hide each other then. Wasn't easy to find a point
of view where everyone is visible.

I'll first create a magnifying glass over europe as sample 2
:-)

The next I'll try is a flat map directly looked at from above
with all the names put with arrows onto a transparent layer
above. That would make overlib/JavaScript obsolete! But it
requires that the names are readable at last.
