One thing I have noticed is that from a high view you can't tell the two different lanes on the interstate. You can't differniate between North, South, East, West. My idea was after I get the lat/longs I would need to determine if they are North, South, West, East and then offset them in the proper direction. Example: If you have a lat/long for a Interstate going South you would want to modify the lat/long to be offset to the left a little bit. That way it would actually sit a little off the Interstate to the left and so forth if you had one going North you would want to offset to the right a little bit.

Just an update on what I found so far....

With what you've done so far, would it be possible to generate a list of location names as they appear at the source with the corresponding lat/lon, then I can have a go at pulling the data in and tranlating the traffic data.

PS What's the mappoint control based software in the screenshot?
