Im not too sure. For the positioning try www.multimap.com, it does aerial pictures too. As for the rest of it..... try FSSC. Im not too sure if it can though.

FSGenesis has a new product called American Roads that adds (supposedly) accurate roads, streams, rail lines, and utility lines to the entire mainland USA.  it is payware.... but it appears to be pretty well done.  As I write this I am downloadng it.... so in the next few days I'll postsome screenies in the Payware forum and let yuou know what I think.

There is also USA Roads that adds roads to the USA.  It is also payware. It has received some attention in the payware forum.  There are some issues with that one....... the roads sometimes project into bodies of water, and bridges no longer line up with roads and so on.  In some areas it also makes the landscape look like it has a "screen" mesh laid on top of it.

best,
