New Travels and Stats Discussion

[yakra]

Perhaps you mean the CSVs?

The rankings by state, system, etc.

We have rankings by region, e.g. https://travelmapping.net/user/region.php?u=ntallyn&rg=AB (scroll to the end).
We do not yet have rankings by system - just an open issue on Github: https://github.com/TravelMapping/Web/issues/97

Yes, I was referring to that.  https://travelmapping.net/user/region.php?u=kjslaughter&rg=GA&units=miles

You can see I'm second in distance and routes clinched, but first in routes travelled.  I only need 148 more miles and for hsford to stop travelling in Georgia.  ;-)

This is the one I remember seeing in the past. But every time I would look for it, I would end up at the MapView. But I finally found the link to the region. Apparently, I'm the only one who doesn't know to click on the name of the region.

I think it is not intuitive. That's why Jim added a note above the table this summer: https://travelmapping.net/user/

Instructions? Who uses them? 

In seriousness, thanks all for the help.

Instructions? Who uses them? 

Exactly Maybe a column "Stats" next to "Map" and "HB" would be better.

I like it.  I continue to welcome suggestions on UI improvements that will help everyone find all of TM's features.

Because of the Coronavirus, I have not traveled outside of MO, AR and OK, very briefly this year. In fact, most of my AR state highway mileage comes from a few small 1-2 night trips taken recently. I'm not sure how many routes I've clinched down there (if any), as I have not uploaded AR state highway data yet.

Fortunately, this should change next week. For Thanksgiving, I will be headed to North-Central TN/South-Central KY. This will greatly increase the mileage I have in those two states. As it stands, my mileage in those two states is very shallow, being little outside of Interstates 64 and 24. The route taken will include some of Future I-57 in Missouri, where signs for the project have been in place for a year or so now.  On that note, will Future I-57 be added to US Future Interstate Highways, and if so, when?

I have updated my stats to include just about everything excluding Florida and Washington State (though Interstates there have been accounted for). Most, but not all, errors taking away multi-state travels have been taken care of.

Stupid truck routes!

Motivation to maintain US Future Interstate Highways as its own separate system has been waning, though there's been no consensus to kill it off yet.
Downsides include how the system is by definition a moving target, poor signage and lack of consensus on what to include & when, and how virtually all of its mileage is concurrent with other routes.

About the only route that would survive the deletion of usaif, would be Future I-26 in NC, due to it being fully posted as a Future Interstate complete with shields that lack the 'Interstate' text in them, and having a 'Future' banner.

I'm quite tempted to argue with that logic, but perhaps that discussion belongs here...

"The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you."

It's now been moved over to the public side of the forum.

Trying to clinch state routes in the City of Baltimore sucks.  Did find a MD 1 shield though...
