Subject: [9fans] Anything like 2e's road(7)?
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 7891db48-ec36-11e9-914b-36aef4b1d025

This isn't really a Plan 9 question at this point, but since we've been =
talking about 2e a bit:

2e included a program road(7), which allowed you to explore a US map =
database. It has a neat property where you can highlight individual =
features via regexp match. You could have a map containing only selected =
roads (say you wanted to show only the Interstates going into your =
city).

road(7) never got updated after 2e, and I don't know how to recreate the =
Tiger database it pulled from, regardless.

Anyone know of anything, on any platform, which does something similar? =
Show only selected elements on a road map?
