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

Is there any way to view or download a bunch of KML files at once for quality control/error checking purposes? --] 17:07, 6 July 2014 (UTC) |

How do I represent a one-way pair? Would two paths with names 'eastbound' and 'westbound' work, like I did on ]? --] 22:01, 7 July 2014 (UTC) |
|
|
:That's along the lines of what I usually do. If there's more than one one-way pair, I usually specify and name it "Eastbound in (city name)". ]]] 22:24, 7 July 2014 (UTC) |

::You could do what {{user|TheWombatGuru}} does and make separate lines for EB and WB for the entire route, not just the one-way couplet. –]] 03:04, 8 July 2014 (UTC) |

I cleaned up the topology of the NHPN data a bit and uploaded ] (). For several reasons I'm not linking to it in the article: |
|
|
*I didn't do much geometry cleanup from the NHPN data, so some Interstates are horribly imprecise (e.g. I-72 west of Jacksonville, IL; I-795 in NC, I-10 at TX exit 294). |
|
|
*There are no objective standards for which future Interstates (suffixed F) I included. I may have also gotten the status of a few recent additions wrong. |
|
|
*Curves are a bit too simplified in areas (due to Misplaced Pages size constraints). |
|
|
*There's also a problem with , which doesn't affect display, but creates annoying effects when editing. |
|
|
However, it is good enough for small-scale mapping (for which you'd probably want to filter out all future routes). --] 02:03, 15 July 2014 (UTC) |
