I created KML data for this draft, ], in the References section, and converted it to GeoJSON, but upon loading, it just throws an error. How can I fix this? <span style="font-family:monospace; font-weight: bold"><span style="color:ForestGreen">]</span>: ] <span style="">$</span></span> 19:33, 1 June 2024 (UTC) |

I'm trying to create KML maps for roads in ] since as far as I can tell only one road is mapped, but I can't seem to get my KML format to render properly. I tried following the tutorial here and I have successfully created files that render in Google Maps (not through wmflabs) and Google Earth, but they do not render properly through the {{tl|Attached KML}} template. The one road I'm mostly working on at the moment is ]. After I've formatted my KML file and pasted into the attachment template I can click on the links in the article, but with Google I get gibberish (a small block centered somewhere in the Caribbean with lines everywhere) and with Bing I get nothing at all, just a plain map centered on my location with no route lines on it. |

After I went through a few rounds of trying different settings from Google Earth I gave up and just copied a KML that seems to be working, first from ] then from ], and pasted the coordinates from my KML into that file, but that doesn't work either. I also noticed while testing that even those working files don't render in Bing, so maybe that tool is just broken? |

: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) |

Anyway, wondering if one of you experts can have a look at what I've been up to and suggest something that I might be doing wrong? Thanks in advance. ] (<sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub>) 18:23, 18 November 2016 (UTC) |

:Looks like the rendering tool is broken at the moment. Try this with articles with existing KMLs, e.g., ], and you get the same result. Note that in-article rendering works just fine (remove {{para|display|title,inline}}) as in NY 79 article. Anyway, I would wait until this is resolved before adding any more KML. ] (]) 19:14, 18 November 2016 (UTC) |

:::Thanks. I'll take your word for it, but when I go to ] and open the editor, the google maps link that comes up displays a proper map for me, but that same link doesn't work for my map. Is it a matter of that map having not been updated recently (Sept 2013) and living in a cache or something? Not that I could troubleshoot myself anyway, just curious. I'll keep prepping my KML files for upload but I'll hold off until someone lets me know the tool is working. Cheers. ] (<sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub>) 11:37, 19 November 2016 (UTC) |

::::I would note that correct rendering is intermittent at best, depending on the browser and even how the rendering page is loaded, as mentioned in ]. Bing Maps doesn't appear to work now either, across the board. ] (]) 12:54, 19 November 2016 (UTC) |

Greetings Map Department. |

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) |

: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) |
