Selectively ignore 'In transit to' points
I have a peculiar fascination for looking at the path a package takes. This is not very important, but might be nicer. Right now, the "In transit to" data muddles the map in some cases.
For eg.,

The first "In transit to"(ITT) point is fine because the arrival destination after that is the same (Portland). The second ITT point is Helena, MT which appears as a point on the map. But the package arrives in Hermiston, OR and then goes to Helena, which causes 3 lines to appear instead of one.
Could you possibly redraw the map to remove the line to the earlier ITT location if there's a new intermediate stop?

Inappropriate?Yeah, the thing is...sometimes packages actually do go back to the original/previous city.
I've read about multiple instances where a package went half way across the country then ended up going right back through the city it started in.
But, I will see about making the maps a bit more efficient.

Inappropriate?That was really quick. Thanks.
I didn't know about packages going back and forth - I should be glad it hasn't happened to me, I guess. -
Inappropriate?bump.. 90% of my 'in transit' is the final destination rather than the next way point

So, we've got an update (pretty major one actually) coming to TTP that should be live in the next 7-10 days that I think will address this issue fairly well.
The entire listing of stops has been redesigned and condensed and is much easier to scan through. Hopefully it'll do the trick for you here. :)
