Ummm not all streets are named, how does gosmore cope with that?

It seems like a bug with gosmore and it should just use the exit number like other software I've used, even though they probably have names for all streets.

Also not all roundabouts have a primary way going through them, they can in fact be the junction of multiple primary ways, eg Gwydir and Newell Highways in Moree, and in fact the Gwydir Highway and New Highway share about 2 or 3 blocks or road before they split again.

Similar thing happens in Goondiwindi with the Newell, Cunningham and Barwon Highways.

The Cunningham Highway should probably be marked as a trunk since it is the way a lot of trucks take when going from Melbourne to Brisbane and so on.
