Travel Mapping User Discussion
Jim:
I thought I'd start a thread for users of the in-development Travel Mapping system to discuss whatever they want to discuss related to the project.
As I've mentioned in other threads, I'm just back from a 3-week trip, covering a little short of 6000 miles. I'm pretty sure it's the single trip that increased my "clinched" mileage the most since I started participating in CHM and now Travel Mapping. My overall stats went up by 2,016 miles. I certainly had other trips before I started tracking this stuff that had more new miles in one shot, but not since I had a way to measure.
Some statistical highlights:
I had new clinchable mileage in 18 regions (16 U.S. states, 2 Canadian provinces).
I made a big jump in the cantch system (Trans-Canada Highways) from 16.1% to 27.2%, and in the canon system (Ontario Provincial Routes) from 0.6% to 15.3%. Taking 417 and then 17 from the Ottawa area all the way to Thunder Bay for the first time will do that.
I passed the 79% mark for U.S. interstate mileage, now at 38,179, or 79.3%. This was mostly from I-49's MO and AR segments. Overall in the usai system, I went up from 262 "connected" routes traveled to 268, and the clinched count went from 159 to 168. Most notably, I-81 is now complete. It becomes my 3rd longest completed interstate behind I-90 and I-40. However, when stat reports for the project get generated, it would show that I've completed the I-35 "connected segment" between the Twin Cities and DFW (separate because of the I-35E/I-35W splits in those areas) and the segment of I-95 south of the gap in NJ, but I have missing miles in other segments of those routes.
For usaus (U.S. Highways), I picked up about 450 new miles but did not travel any new routes and didn't pick up any complete clinches.
I got my first miles in usane (Nebraska State Highways) but it's only about 30 miles. That did increase the number of active systems I've traveled to 52 of our 97 active systems.

My highlights since the demise of CHM:
8-day March trip that clinched several interstates and US highways. I added about 3800 miles of new segments. Most notable clinches: I-44, I-30, I-45, US-271, US-259.
12-day May trip that clinched a few 3dis and several more US highways, plus got me to the last 5 US highways I hadn't travelled on previously. I added a little over 5000 miles of new segments. Most notable clinches: US-69, US-136, US-400, US-189, US-550.
I also set up my final trip, date to be determined, to clinch the Ohio state route system. All I have left is about 35 miles: the 2 routes on the Lake Erie islands, and 3 others on the way to the ferry.

Since CHM froze I've mostly done stuff on the gbna1 unactivated system - epic 3-4 hour long walks in E/NE London (which was a part of the world I hadn't really been to before).
However last month I did a trip to Ireland (the data ingested on Travel Mapping) that saw me clinch about 80 miles of pavement in North Wales, and 0.1% of Irish roads - a tiny bit of road between two ferry terminals in Dublin that's part of E20.

OK, here's a question that people might want to answer.
I have draft files for the following state highway systems: Indiana, Colorado and Wyoming. Which one do you want to be first?
