Question 2 => F3 key and F10 key to erase the menu bar Question 3 with "z" key you can increase the visibility and "Z" decrease it.
About rivers and others city size i have the same difficulties surrounding "Mont Ventoux" (not so far from Montpellier) rivers are sometime instead of road and roads instead of rivers, rivers climb and ride on mountains, cities are missing. I think we cannot ask for a high detailed (spy quality) scenery. However we have a rather good definition about elevations, the mountains, hills, and valley are there.
