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

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) |

::You can do this on QGIS as well. It's a good way to "patch" GIS data too, when it's missing features (like new roads that haven't hit GIS yet). You will still need GIS data for background features, however. —]] <span style="font-size:75%">]]</span> 10:52, 17 October 2013 (UTC) |

Hello, |
|
|
|
|

So I made my first KML file for ], could someone tell me if I did it correctly (if the line is thick enough, precise enough etc.) ] (]) 10:16, 3 May 2014 (UTC) |

:Looks pretty good! I'd say that the frequency of points (generalization in GIS-speak) is set low which is fine here since it's a divided highway, just make sure it's a little more frequent when you do narrower roads so that you don't have the line cutting corners through cliffs, etc. Thanks in advance for your help in contributing to the highway articles these important files! —''']''' (<sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub>) 13:56, 3 May 2014 (UTC) |
