Yup, it's always incredible to see how myopic tge tech bubble is - starting with software that couldn't handle East Coast US 5-digit ZIP (postal) codes that begin with "0". Google Maps never shows the highway exit # until you're nearly there, but that's all we use on the East Coast, since there are many old roads that run parallel to the highways for many miles, so telling me to "get off at Rt110" is hopelessly ambiguous with a dozen exits for that road. I could go on...
- kelnos 5y agoI have the opposite issue; Google will tell me the exit number on highways that don't have exit numbers posted.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 5y agoSame. I want it to tell me "take Rengstorff Ave exit" and it just tells me "take exit 53b." I have no idea what 53b is and the big signs don't say it either.
- bombcar 5y agoLook for the highway mile markers - the exit number is based on them. Should get you closer at least.
- ipython 5y agoNot all highways work like this. Take I-87 in New York for example. Thankfully most of those roads are slowly changing exit numbers so they follow the sane convention you describe!
