Similar thing, when I was flying an aircraft down to Denver we would constantly hear other visual traffic giving position reports by using the county name.

How the heck am I supposed to know what county I am flying in? There is no county names on the charts, use towns, cities, airfields, and other easily identified locations to give a position report.

We only heard this in the states, I have never heard vfr traffic in Canada identifying location by county.

Grinds my gears!
