HI!
With last updates I've noticed that something has changed in map features:
1.Rivers has a more natural trend (much less sharp)
2. Now there's a multitude of roads! It seems that you put in all the road web!

All nice things, but I have SD Mobile Device and when I updated the Flight Planning software and synced with the device I noticed this:
1. first of all as since v.3.2.0 an over all slowdown, but this last 3.4.0 got things worse
2. in the device the software version report 3.4.0 while the planning one 3.4.1
3. all that multitude of roads make things confusing on the device. Is there a way to see only major roads, like before the update?
4. terrain under map features is rendered much later.

I think that all this improvements are deleterius for the SD Mobile Device. You should keep a software version lighter for your device.

Hi Tim!
Thanks for replay.
I think minor roads could be a nice addon (for those who have a better display), but they should appear at a scale like 1:250.000 or 1:125.000 and in a way they aren't so "invasive". In a 5" display things are crowded... ;-)
