Is there a reason Bonaire is not listed along with Aruba and Curacao as a North American country?

Question

It seems to be missing from the Countries map.

Specifically look at the project-gc profile stats for my geocaching id: bdp

Go specifically to the MAPS tab.

Scroll down to the map picture that shows North America. You will see that I have found 7/42 countries. In the countries list -- Aruba and Curacao are listed but NOT Bonaire. Whereas on the world map, you will see that I have found 21 countries and Bonaire is indeed listed.

So my question is -- why is Bonaire missing from the NA map when Aruba and Curacao are listed.

Answer 1

All three of them are listed in map compares dropdown list as separate, specific "countries". Maybe I didn't understand what you were looking for since they are not North American countries? The ABC-islands belongs to the Netherlands and situated just north of Venezuela in South America. Maybe that's why they are listed as "countries" of their own. No problems finding them on the map for Venezuela or other countries in the region but of course  without caches since I did not include those regions in my search.

Maybe if you're a little more specific in your question you can get a good answer to why they're missing on the map you're looking at.

My question was very specific -- why isn't Bonaire listed on the map of North American countries. I'm trying to figure out how to add a screen shot.
