Geographers vote for lphbet!

Information visualization has been an everyday problem in geography for many years. If you have to depict several countries on a map and scale is a critical issue, long (place) names are killing you. Think of Germany, Poland, Albania, Austria and many more. All these names have to be depicted on the map and even at the right place. If this is a problem for you - lphbet is the answer! Maybe there is not enough space for Albania, but what about lbni?!
