Those "useless" indications are *only* in the newest developmental areas
(usually residintial) that have been added to the "enhanced 911" database
that allows emergency personnel to find the addresses.

That "enhanced 911" database is what is used to update the mapsets that are
occasionally offered for sale. Older mapsets will work fine for the OP's
(Original Poster's) stated purpose, so they'll do better to look online for
the free "POI" (Points of Interest) databases such as restaurants, lodging,
restrooms etc. that will be more important for the road trip.

Regardless of what your GPS tells you to do, the drive east from Silver
City to I-25 is truly beautiful and worth the few extra miles/minutes. Take
it if you can.

As you probably already know, there is an engineering school in
Tucson. There is also on in Phoenix at ASU. There is a third one in
Flagstaff but the winter climate there isn't so warm. If it was me
and I was coming from out of state and selected AZ I'd pick Tucson
over Phoenix because it's a smaller school and Tucson just seems nicer
and less overdeveloped to me and is overall more liberal then Phoenix.
