How to upload kml files to show routes on Google Maps?  Your "Sinking Creek" shows a folder I don't know how to reach?  Have GPX file for Warriors' Backbone and Fall Creek Loop trails I was going to covert in Google Earth to kml.--[[User:Vhasler|Vhasler]] 16:26, 13 March 2011 (EDT)
:Send KML's to me for the time being and I'll get them there. --[[User:Tim|Tim]] 06:44, 18 March 2011 (EDT)
::Sent five from home computer, so we'll see how those display.  And adding placeholder code on the routes that I have captured.  Can resubmit without waypoint flags, if necessary.--[[User:Vhasler|Vhasler]] 05:51, 21 March 2011 (EDT)

I see that you copied the AT trail g-map from the main website.  Need to understand how you plan to merge it with the main list or keep separate?  Some of the destinations on the current list are really along the AT.--[[User:Vhasler|Vhasler]] 06:35, 16 March 2011 (EDT)
:Not sure what I have planned, I do want to get the AT stuff over here as well for the same reasons as the other trails (easy editing, consistent,...). I'm thinking eventually The AT link on the main page would dump people over to here. I will eventually convert the AT trail map to use the embedded pins instead of a KML for easy modification. --[[User:Tim|Tim]] 06:44, 18 March 2011 (EDT)

Standard for coordinates in infobox.  Been using decimal formal DD.DDDDD,-DD.DDDDD, but more use to working in DD MM.MMM,-DD MM.MMM style.  Yes, it would involve another conversion, but likely able to read right off the GPSr.  So what is the standard?  Add it to the creating trail info.--[[User:Vhasler|Vhasler]] 07:52, 16 March 2011 (EDT)
:You have to be careful about not messing up the info boxes. See [[WPSP Devil's Backbone]]. The link to bring them over to Google maps so they can do a destination routing is now broken. My personal preference is the decimal format, but mostly because I know that's what Google maps understand. Not sure if it can tolerate DMS. Then if we display DMS but the pins in GMaps needs decimal, then we would be setting ourselves up for confusion. --[[User:Tim|Tim]] 06:44, 18 March 2011 (EDT)
::Fixed [[WPSP Devil's Backbone]] by removing spaces in the coords, so now it works with the "Larger Map".  DM.M does not work in the quotes for the gmap.  Guess we are at the customer preference issue.  What do folks want to see on the trail pages?  I lean more towards DM.M as default for my Garmin GPSr and geocaching.--[[User:Vhasler|Vhasler]] 05:56, 19 March 2011 (EDT)

How to delete a no longer used page?  "Sinking Waters" is now "WPSP Sinking Waters" and "Devil's Backbone" is "WPSP Devil's Backbone" to maintain the consistency of having park prefix on their trails.  Needed as "Overlook" and "Lakeside" are common to several parks.  Have fixed all broken links, so the redirect pages are no longer required.--[[User:Vhasler|Vhasler]] 07:33, 17 March 2011 (EDT)
:I'll take care of that, need sysop prvileges. --[[User:Tim|Tim]] 06:44, 18 March 2011 (EDT)

-Testing stripping parenthetical disambiguation (e.g. Ridge Top (Roan Mountain State Park)) from the display text, but not the link. Alright solution, had to use odd double close nowiki to get the space recognized so the #explode would use the " (" as the split and omit the trailing space.
