Sure, though my main problem is that FLA1A and MA1A are in.
And if you default to the system, you'd want the bannered routes as well - which makes the code more complex.
yakra:
Thus we would want to search for the relevant string at the beginning of the route name, rather than anywhere within it. This is what the ^ character does in a Un*x regex.
Jim:
It wasn't my code in the original rte= support, but the current code achieves its results with this as part of its SQL query:

Jim:
I am not seeing any reason we need all the regex stuff here. As I have implemented it in the new Mapview, rte= requires an exact match in the routes.route field. And you can optionally restrict to one or more systems with sys=.
Those interested in this functionality, please give it a try, and let me know if it behaves as you expect. Keep in mind there is nothing done at this point to restrict to only the same connected route.

That seems like a reasonable feature and would not be hard to continue to provide.

How about letter-suffixed children, such as ME4A, NY17*, etc?

http://tmtest.teresco.org/user/mapview.php?units=miles&rte=NY17 has vanilla NY17 and PA NY17SWa panned off the west edge of the map. The westernmost bits of NY17Bin are also clipped; +X101 is at or just off the W edge of the map. I still need to zoom out one level to fit all NY17 segments within the viewport. 1680x1050 display.
