Also when I see an alert about incoming aircraft that are detected it lists a city name that I have never heard of. I want to help them out and fly to the city but I have no clue where it is. It would be nice if the grid coordinates were also included. There's so many city names on the map and you have to zoom in to see them all it would really help out.

Should I mention other key coastal names?:-
'Thanet' ('Isle of Thanet' but you can't easily see the river that cuts it off into an island).
That lump or 'nose' on the end of Kent.
Home of Manston and Ramsgate airfields. Note Margate on the North side.
Often referred in-game simply as Manston or Ramsgate:
