Roadway Identifiers Incorrect

The state and interstate highways in my area (Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina, US) have had odd identifiers for a long time. I didn't know if it was a bug or not so I didn't take any action.

Last week for some reason they displayed correctly. I was thrilled. But now they're back to something that looks like it belongs to another country. I don't recall ever changing any options, but I guess I must have done it without realizing it. Any ideas?

Road markings are part of the map, and so not under my control. If the map provider has updated their map imagery, that'll start to come through as tiles expire from the local cache (map tiles are normally cached for around 3 months, although you can purge the cache from within Settings).

BTW, I've removed the email address from your post: it's never a good idea to leave email addresses in public - they will get harvested by all kinds of spam crawlers.

Ugh. I thrashed about and in File\Options found Map Options. Mine was set for OpenCycle Map - it displayed incorrect road names. I tried OpenTopoMap and the map was far too detailed to use; meaningful flight information was obscured.

OpenStreet Map looked better; it contained correct road names and numbers plus moderate detail. I must have changed this, then changed it back. Foolish me.  End of problem.  Operator error.  Sorry for taking your time.  Please close this incident.
