I created KML data for this draft, ], in the References section, and converted it to GeoJSON, but upon loading, it just throws an error.

I've mapped the ], arguably one of the most significant contributions to collecing world knowledge on Misplaced Pages. But my map doesn't work so well -- a) it's in German, b) opens centered on Russia and c) seems to have a place marker around Sao Tome and Príncipe of the coast of Africa. A little help? I'll then do some maps for all of us. Thanks in advance, -- ] (]) 15:21, 14 February 2018 (UTC) |

:Uploading GeoJSON to Misplaced Pages in raw form has been dying a slow death for years now- the preferred method these days is uploading to Commons under a Data:_____.map page and calling it using a ‘from’ parameter in the template <span style="background:#613314; padding:2px; font-family: 'Courier New'">''']]'''</span> 21:41, 1 June 2024 (UTC) |

:When you have lists of coordinates like you do, you're better off using {{tlx|GeoGroup}}. It does all the hard work for you. I've already swapped it out. –]] 01:36, 15 February 2018 (UTC) |

::]], that is so great of you. Huge improvement to have drop down maps in the list. But... what was nice about the map at the top of the page is that it showed the location of the markers relative to eachother, I think that's part of the story too. Is there a way to have both? And, If both, is there a way to have the map of all of the markers a) in English, b) centered on Ulster County, NY and c) not have a marker off the coast of Africa? -- ] (]) 03:37, 15 February 2018 (UTC) |

:::{{ping|HighAtop94}} are you talking about the ] map in the top corner? I don't believe there's anything ''we'' can do about that. Toward the bottom of the page, there's a box labeled "Map all coordinates using:" that has a couple map links. You can see all of the markers that way. –]] 22:51, 15 February 2018 (UTC) |

== Business route interactive map line color == |

Primarily pinging @] since the tutorial was just updated by him. The recommended standard for business route line color on interactive maps is green (same as toll roads). In the past, however, when I've used on hardcoded maps red for the subject route and green for a nearby toll road, it was confusing for ] users since the subject and toll routes would look the same. The only featured article that has more than one color on the map is ] with blue as the second route's color on the map. I would recommend that we state blue should be the first secondary color for any special routes / former routes. After that, maybe the colors for subsequent colors be purple, darker pink, and darker grey to provide contrast against the lighter colored map. —''']''' (<sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub>) 12:32, 18 September 2022 (UTC) |

:Good call. I was going off of the old static map standards. M-554's map (it was separate from M-553) uses #0000ff. ? –]] 19:00, 18 September 2022 (UTC) |
