Travel Mapping Manual: Review a preview highway system

If you notice incorrect highway data, please report it. If the route belongs to a active system, the issue should be reported on the forum. If the route belongs to a system with in-development status or preview status, or the issue is in relation to such a system, you can report it anytime on the existing forum thread for the system.

The introduction of a new highway system requires a peer-review. This is usually done by a volunteer contributor when the review was requested by the developer of the system.

The procedure below describes a thorough peer-review of a preview system on the way to get it active.

🔗 Steps to review a preview highway system

  1. Announce that you will do a peer-review
  2. Check the highway system for completeness
  3. Check highway data errors, concurrencies and near-miss points
  4. General mapview or HDX check
  5. Check route names in Highway Browser route list
  6. Check routes with Waypoint File Editor
  7. Check routes with Highway Browser
  8. Check forum for questions
  9. Final general check
Report the issues to the forum thread. Clearly indicate the route name. Make batches especially when it's one of your first or the developer's first highway systems. Note on the forum if you skipped a step, for instance if using the HDX is too fancy for you.

A thorough data error check helps to sort out general issues and avoids getting confused with individual route draftings later on. Since fixing of these errors is always a risk to break things, it is better to have it fixed before the detailed peer-review starts. You can skip the HDX checks if it is too fancy for your actual skills but please notify it on the forum.
