Road Names, Postals, and Mapping

BackdraftCAD separates a road's functional GTA name from its member-facing name.

If Union Road is renamed Main Street, CAD displays Main Street while integrations still resolve Union Road coordinates. A rename is presentation, not a new geographic road. Bulk import uses the downloadable template; Bulk Reset restores original names.

Resolution rules​

  • An address containing a postal routes directly to that postal.
  • Street matching is not used to replace a valid postal.
  • Intersections resolve from both original GTA road names.
  • Display names are translated back to original names before coordinate lookup.

If an address is unmapped, verify the postal exists and each renamed road references a valid original game road.
