A Group: Forum Members Posts: 28, Visits: 87	Hi Is there a way to improve the representation of the road network in South Africa (not sure about other regions eg. in Europe)? For example, on the below image the N1 highway - the longest highway in SA connecting Johannesburg and Cape Town - ends unceremoniously in a field 30 km outside Johannesburg. Labelling major roads and/or applying colour for major roads would also be very helpful. Highways and highway intersections are very useful in flight planning. Cheers Andrew

Seems that motorways are being classified erratically - eg with only Motorways showing the below appears: With all roads the gaps are filled in see below: A number of disconnected road segments here: The N3 - a major national road - changes colour for some reason: ... and then back again: And then final Q is on showing the road names - they seem to appear at certain scale, but not consistently - is there a way to toggle them on demand. Cheers Andrew
