Someone with the 2009 maps

 

Can anyone with the new 2009 maps tell me if the following coordinates put you on a 4 lane highway or just a field?

35.649067,-77.962053

Looks like Highway 117. North of Blalock Rd.
I compared to 2008 (It is in a field)

Great, thanks. That is right, it is a field in 2008 maps (the one that I have). Glad to know that they updated that road.

They should have put the new road as 395 or whatever interstate number that they assigned to it.

It shows as a freeway road type, 4 lane, but still designated as 117.

One of my roads lost it's name and is now CR-34

Just noticed that one of the bigger 4-lane highways in my area lost it's name on the 2009 map and is now just CR-34 instead of Randall Road. I don't recall ever seeing a county route road sign along this road. It carries the same name for 25 miles, so it's not one of those roads that changes it's name in each town it passes through. Funny - if you hover the pointer over the road, it gives the address as xxxx Randall Road. I noticed a few of the other county roads in the area were switched this way, too. They show on the Nuvi map that way, too.
