"find tracks where I drove on State Highway 45"

I'd like to be able to find tracks where I drove on a specific highway (toll road), for example "State Highway 45". Is there any way to accomplish that? I haven't been able to find anything like that. I guess maybe I could do that if I typed in the roads traveled in the "Notes" tab in the Track Properties window. Or maybe if I could some how do a "batch reverse geocode" on all my trackpoints and somehow store the roads found in the Track. I don't see any support for such reverse geocoding though.

Adding a name in the Notes tab would work and a BC search of My Data will find the annotated tracks. Adding these tags manually to a large group of tracks would be tedious as I don’t think you can bulk select tracks and add notes to a group of tracks whereas you can change their colour.

I think you will need a fully fledged GIS system to accomplish this reverse geocoding and suggest you google “map-matching”. Here is one link: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/5761/map-matching-links-and-ideas.
