[edit] map quality could be better
This map shows germany and the surrounding countries, indeed. But the cities elected for showing, also the rivers, are not representative and give a wrong sight of Germany. I can not understand, as an inhabitant of Germany, what have been the criteria? The visitor sees only one important river, but there lacks the most important one. The reader must think, that between Munich and Leipzig there are absolutely no cities. Important cities like the main cities of the Bundesländer are omitted. This map does not show reality, nor physical nor political.
Cities: Not only the biggest are of interest, but also subcenters like Nuremberg, Kaiserslautern, Mainz, Erfurt. Main cities like SaarbrĂĽcken are worth to be shown. Instead of them, Bremerhaven or Emden could be omitted.
Rivers: The River Rhine is omitted totally, one of the biggest rivers in Europe flowing through some countries and, as some people say, part of the German soul. Much Japanes and American people come to Germany to see the River Rhine with the Loreley. The River Main, which flows into the Rhine, is also omitted, but it is an important geographical border and divides southern from northern Germany.
Hope the map can made better and more realistic.
