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

Didn't see this in the archives. I-81 between the northern I-64 junction and West Virginia is missing on . ] (]) 13:26, 2 November 2012 (UTC) |

:::''Now'' I see the big yellow triangle with the exclamation point. I didn't look past the archive search field since that's all that I thought that I needed. Perhaps the relevant section could be moved to the top, à la the messages at the top of article talk pages stating that the pages are for discussion of the article, not the topic...although I seem to have been the only one to have been tripped up by this. ] (]) 14:44, 3 November 2012 (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) |

::The upside to putting the map data on Commons is that it's reusable on other editions of Misplaced Pages, or even the AARoads Wiki. ] and use the same map file on Commons, for instance. <span style="background:#006B54; padding:2px;">'''] ]'''</span> 21:55, 1 June 2024 (UTC) |

As KMLs continue to proliferate (yay!), I'm wondering if there will soon come a time when we have all or most of the highways hooked to one. Given that some states have no GIS centreline data, and others have what seems like a half-a.... well, government, set of shapefiles. |

I no longer have ArcGIS installed, but I recall an option to import KMLs into your map. This may be a simpler (though more time-involved, making all those KMLs) solution for those who are overwhelmed by GIS software. - ''']''' <sup>]</sup> <sub>]</sub> 07:42, 17 October 2013 (UTC) |
