So:<BR><BR>US:I -> Interstate<BR>US:I:BUS -> Business Interstate<BR>US:US -> US Route<BR>US:US:BUS -> Business US Route<BR>US:US:ALT:BUS -> Business Alt US Route<BR>US:TX -> Texas State Highway<BR>US:TX:FM -> Farm to Market<BR>US:TX:RM -> Ranch To Market<BR>US:TX:FM:Bus -> Business Farm to Market<BR><BR>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt" mce_style="FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Having been through most of the highways in TX at least, this works for all that i've labelled, whether it's still that way or not. I prefer to have the final labels show the state abbreviation and number (TX 10) instead of generic state labeling (SH 10) (TX has state highways, not state routes), but am willing to work with either. Once a useful mapping tiling appears that uses state shields, this wont matter nearly as much.<BR><BR>Jason<BR>25or6to4<BR><BR>>network=US:TX:SR<BR>>ref=10<BR>>= Texas State road 10<BR><BR>>network=US:FL:Orange:CR<BR>>ref=10<BR>>= Florida Orange county road 10<BR><BR>>network=US:TX:FARM<BR>>ref=10<BR>>= Texas State Farm road 10<BR><BR>>Wouldn't this just use one US in network?<BR>>network=US:BUSINESS<BR>>ref=50<BR>>= US Business 50<BR><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV>
