    Would it be an idea to give every city a number, an then naming those outside the map?
    I would find it very irritating to constantly have to look at the x- and y-axis...

    Another option is to have pointer indexed grids the way many city maps do. So.. you have an index that has information pertaining to the stuff in cell B10 for example. Only good for certain types of maps IMHO, but I wanted to post it as an option.
