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) |
