It's a pretty amazing interface. And they cover Canada too... except
highway numbers are shown as being U.S. Interstates.

CAUS is somewhat accurate -- in British Columbia, anyway. However it
shows a number of non-existent crossings in Point Roberts.

No coverage of Mexico, either.

But it is still pretty amazing, nonetheless!
