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
