Trying to figure out what counties you need is a several step process, meaning looking at your map then looking at google maps or a real map.  If you could just hover over the county with your mouse and the name popped up... so much easier...!

It would be much easier, thats right. Until then you could check out if you can find the county map for the county on wikipedia for example and then use it and take the pgc map and overlay it in a graphics program and resize them until they are fitting on the borders. Then lower the opacity of the pgc map and you can read the name of the counties. Might be necessary to move the map a little, because the maps have not 100% the same borders, but much easier than the google way.

Or you can just click the ones you want to get a popup balloon with the name of the county.

does that happen when you click on one, it doesn't on mine, but maybe it is a feature for paying members?
I think we may be talking about different pages. I'm talking about http://project-gc.com/Tools/MapCounties which, indeed, is for paying members only.
Might be. I thought it's about the "ProfileStats#Maps" where this feature would be very nice. I'm still not quite sure if I'll take the one or three years membership so I can't see what the linked map shows. But I think I'll make my decision today and then I'll check.
There's a 10-day free trial of membership features, so you can check out everything in advance if you like. See the Membership page for details.
Yes I knew this before. But I didn't want to test. Only thing was to decide which membership length. Decided for the three years now. I think I'll keep on caching and if not then I helped a great website. But thanks for showing that tool in here. I like it and I don't know how long it might have taken to find it in this huge amount of features :D
