Any plan or way to overlay the Interstate System to the maps for travelers so if you don't know the county you are crossing you will know by the nearest Interstate. could even be like the Checkbox that adds the Input to the listing.

Seems like a lot of extra work for no real gain.
Use a map or use google and search for (town, state) county and you get that info.

Most people, if not everyone, is now using smart phones. They have map applications on them which can also be used to help locate your location

I agree, I use maps as well as Wikip the issue is it takes 3 steps to get the county that the highway is going through, if there was a way to layer a highway map over the DB Map you would see that New London County in Ct doesn't have I84 running in it, it was a simple Idea to make people have an Easier way to see where they were in relation to the county, I personally was in Hershey PA a week ago and it would have been nice to see what County I was in via a Highway on the map. no big issue just an Idea

That was what I counted on, and it was useless while on the road. The major online maps do not show county lines well.

Having the expressways available on the site map will allow see which counties you are traveling through. (Without having to wait for the roadside markers, if that area tells you when you change counties.)

The hard part is the map isn't a design made by rr. It's a 3rd party website rr integrated to the dB. The suggestion would need to go to the owners
