    Maybe I'm a bit thick today, but what are we looking for in that map?

    51° 20' 2", 3° 17' 35" is definitely in Belgium.

    I don't blame you US folks about not knowing "detailed" European geography, after all I don't know where each US state is supposed to be either, but in the map above, "Netherlands" is where Belgium is, and "Belgium" is where Netherlands is. If you zoom in one tick, the names get switched again.

    If there is something wrong with the map, NavTech is the place to correct it, not Google...

    That's quite a big mistake but I suppose if you're not familiar with european geography it could be easily made. You would think that if you're making a map you would know the difference between Belgium and the Netherlands.
