Hi there,

Unfortunately, our support email has filtered out your attachment and I can't 
view it right now, but I wanted
to respond sooner rather than later.  If it's similar to the example photo I 
sent yesterday titled
"state_highway.png", then I think the issue is that the state routes themselves 
actually end in various places.
I think the roads continue, but I think they change name... to a "St" or "Blvd" 
etc, and the maps database 
breaks them up as different entries once that happens.

I assume using the "U" identifier doesn't work for what you want?

Let me know if this makes sense?
