along those same lines, if it would automatically mark 3 and 4 digit NFD routes as Unpaved Roads and 2 digit ones as Road (since these highways might or might not be paved) instead of marking them all unpaved would probably help. I'm not sure how to handle mass-updating of these roads, either...it's exceptionally rare for people to live on an NFD road unless they live on-site at their job (such as US Forest Service rangers, Boy Scout camp rangers, fire watchmen, etc.). While I don't have any aversion to going up to the mountains and attempting to drive every road by hand to see if it still exists and in what condition, but I would need a donation of a compact 4x4 (like a Kia Sportage or Suzuki Sidekick, at largest a Jeep Wrangler; nothing with low undercarriage clearance like a Honda anything, and nothing that is completely useless off-pavement like pretty much anything General Motors or Ford makes: It needs to be something that can fit down a logging road without clearing trees to turn a corner or fit through a gap), and it would still take me years to decades to do it..
