== Help with KML files/broken tool? == |
|
|
|
|
|
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? |

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) |
