== Business route interactive map line color ==

Primarily pinging @] since the tutorial was just updated by him. The recommended standard for business route line color on interactive maps is green (same as toll roads). In the past, however, when I've used on hardcoded maps red for the subject route and green for a nearby toll road, it was confusing for ] users since the subject and toll routes would look the same. The only featured article that has more than one color on the map is ] with blue as the second route's color on the map. I would recommend that we state blue should be the first secondary color for any special routes / former routes. After that, maybe the colors for subsequent colors be purple, darker pink, and darker grey to provide contrast against the lighter colored map. —''']''' (<sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub>) 12:32, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

:Good call. I was going off of the old static map standards. M-554's map (it was separate from M-553) uses #0000ff. ? –]] 19:00, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Help!

I created KML data for this draft, Draft:Capitol Highway, in the References section, and converted it to GeoJSON, but upon loading, it just throws an error. How can I fix this? thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 19:33, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Never mind, I figured it out. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 21:34, 1 June 2024 (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 BMACS1002 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. M-6 (Michigan highway) and M-6 (Michigan) use the same map file on Commons, for instance. Imzadi 1979 → 21:55, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
