Place Names

By default, the list is sorted alphabetically in ascending order. To have it sorted by state, county, or class (Airport, Arch, Area, Bar, etc.), click the corresponding column heading.

By default, the list is sorted alphabetically in ascending order. To have it sorted by state or interstate direction, click the corresponding column heading.

Note: The choice between Place Names and Control Cities is available only if the Interstate dictionary is loaded (see Program Settings' Dictionary - Design Category).
