Yes. I won't be making any improvements until Friday, most likely, but
I'll put this on the list.

No roads because there's no data down there ;) The lack of coastline
data down there is because no one has put togeter a whole-world VMap0
shapefile yet, so I'm just using the existing data that Nick Black put
together.

Thanks! I think it's pretty cool. I've got the new planet importing,
after which I'll clear out the cache and start precaching all the data
again -- hopefully by the end of the day, it'll mostly be based on the
new planet.
