Hi Justin, the interesting enhancement wasn't the journey, but it was the interpolation of route-points. One may now make a road of 2 points and the mock-provider can make a route of arbitrary many points out of these two. So if one has a straight route between 2 cities, the provider creates a "smooth" route between the cities.
