ASKED FOR SUPPORT IN THE GOOGLE CHROMEBOOK COMMUNITY: Hyphenated version of some files

@RWSverkeersinfo
Kunnen jullie die aanduidingen wat begrijpelijker maken? Ik denk dat weinig mensen weten waar knooppunt Sabina ligt. Ik kom er toevallig al 40 jaar langs, maar gebruik "richting zuid" of "richting Zeeland" of "richting Bergen op Zoom", zodat iedereen het snapt.
Dit is bedoeld als algemeen verzoek, niet specifiek hier. Er worden vaak namen gebruikt die alleen locals weten. Trouwens ook bij @nporadio1 en de verkeersinformatie van de ANWB
