Just a couple of comments: First, I'm never as shocked as I'm supposed to be by hearing that people can't find places on maps, probably because I'm not so sure I could find Mississippi on an unlabeled map (even though I consider myself reasonably well informed -- and I even had one of those puzzle-maps of US states as a kid!).
