Clinched Highway Mapping

[rickmastfan67]

Because I'm personally still having problems getting into it via IE (still getting the "Server Maintenance" message),

For the record, I have not had the same problems with IE.

What version of IE are you running Froggie?  I have IE9 on my system.  And I've done everything to try to get them to load in it (deleting cookies, cache, you name it) with no luck.

FWIW, I'm having no problem accessing the forum with IE7 at home, or with Firefox at work.

Well, I just got it to work in IE again.  Had to add the "index.php" to the end of the normal URL and it now works again in IE9.  But if I use the URL without that, it gives me the "Server Maintenance" message.  Weird, ain't it?

IE 8 is working fine as well.

It's been my hope to use this thread to let others know about the site and project, to let those interested know about our expanding highway coverage, and to interact with those interested or curious about the work being offered for free to community.  I don't think that personal browser problems are relevant.  CHM site outages are rare but are usefully reported to me by email rather than to this venue.

Back on topic...

Tonight another set of Int'l European Roads is available.  Norwegian E Roads can now be marked and highlighted as clinched for those who would like to record their travels there.  Thanks to Si Hollett for providing the data.

More highways have been added to the Clinched Highway Mapping site.

- Jamaican Motorways. Data provided by me.
- Int'l European Roads in Moldova, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Data provided by Si Hollett and me.

Join us if you'd like in creating maps and seeing stats about one's cumulative highway travel in North America and Europe.

Clinched Highway Mapping now features the entire ~171,000 km International European Road system (E Roads).  Users can now highlight their travels on these highways in all 46 countries across Eurasia.  This also completes the 2 major sets of highway systems across Europe: motorways/expressways and E roads.

Also new since the previous announcement are the following highway systems:

- Kosovo Motorways.  Kosovo opened their first motorway, R1, last fall.
- Nebraska State Highways.  Data provided by Eric Bryant.

I just changed my email address for the Clinched Highway mapping forum last night and have yet to receive my reactivation email.  Has anyone else had this issue and solved it?

[Roadsguy]

Sorry for the uberbump, but I didn't want to start a new thread. Should I have?

Anyway, where on the site is the Google-styled map for the highway browser? For me it's just a search thing. Clicking next... next... next... oops, back... doesn't seem as easy as dragging around a map...

I see they revamped the HB this week. It works fine here, so the question is... why did it switch to static for you? Maybe someone who works on CHM can investigate the issue.

[Roadsguy]

So it still should be an actual map?

That's promising at least...

Am I missing something? From the main page, I click on Highway Browser. Once my search results are returned, I click on a shield and there's my map.
As for the Static Maps, I'm pretty sure those have been discontinued with this recent revamp of the HB.

Roadsguy, Do you just see the "<- Prev Page" and "Next Page ->" links, with no highway shields or something? I'm not too sure exactly what problems you're experiencing. Can you provide a URL for the page you're looking at?

I see they revamped the HB this week.

No they didn't. I"m still the same as I ever was!

Apologies for bumping, but I've been trying to submit my data file for a few months now, since they revamped the site at least, and I have not seen my updates appear.  I haven't changed my email address, and I've emailed my log file to the same email address.  Has anyone else had this problem?

AFAIK, the admin email address hasn't changed in years. The forums for the project at http://clinched.s2.bizhat.com/ are fairly active. You should ask over there.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know the timeline for the next highway systems to be added? There have been no new highway systems added since August.

[yakra]

The CHM forum itself would be a better place for this question. I don't know what level of contribution you'd be looking for, but with Tim being as occupied as he is, I bet that taking on any new fully-fledged collaborators and showing them the ropes isn't doable at this time. The best I can offer is to check out the highway systems in the Highway Browser, both activated and in-devel previews, and report any errors you find or comments you have in the forum.

CHM just processed site updates a couple of days ago, though it doesn't appear to have included any data updates and the route mileages/percentages are off.  Everything from my last site update displays properly on the map and in the highway browser highlight, but the mileage count and percentages traveled didn't update with the maps.
