Beginners question

Hello everyone

I am a new user and not particularly knowledgeable regarding technical matters so I am not sure if I am asking this in the correct place but can you please explain to me what the numbers refer to on the maps e.g. A312 etc. I notice these can follow the flight number on the listings and wondered if they were route numbers. Many thanks for you help.

That particular example is the aircraft type.

Airbus A310-200

Thanks Oblivian but its not an aircraft type it is the numbers which are all over the map as you follow a flight. There are a's and b's. I am sure they are not road numbers either

Can you post a screen capture illustrating what you are seeing?

I suspect its the road level on the google APIs relating to:
