[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] On line map of Germany and other countries

[Gary Warner]

Mike,

Not too bad a map, but the search feature does not seem to work very 
well.  For instance, if I search for Ojrzen (there is an accent over the n) 
in Poland, it says it cannot find it, even if I use the * as a wild card- 
it is actually on the map, however, since I can zoom in on it on the road 
south of Ciechanow (there is an accent over the o).  Interestingly enough, 
I can do a search for Ciechanow, and it will find it, even though I did not 
enter the accented letter.  Likewise, if I search for Dabrowa, also near 
Ciechanow, it will find it in the index, but zooming of the map does not 
take you to that location, even though a manual zoom and pan will show the 
place.  Looks to me like the system needs some work, but it does have some 
possibilities if what I perceive as flaws are fixed.
