Ok, I admit I'm an idiot, but I'm not sure what's wrong with the map pic. Is Austria misidentified as Switzerland? Or is it something else I'm missing? The Czech Republic is misidentified as Switzerland.
And CNN wasn't even "one off". Switzerland is actually two countries over from where they labeled it. Switzerland is Southwest of Germany, not East.

Thanks for the clarification. I've got no excuse for not recognizing the Czech Republic - my last name (Triesch) is the name of a town there.

Must be that "hollywood geography" -
The Sound of Music has the Von Trapps crossing from Austria into Switzerland, which share no borders.
