US National Scenic Byway
Quote from Ti Brin on 18.08.2024, 14:45Hi,
In US, there is a lot of National Scenic Byways determined by the FHA for almost every states. It would be amazing to add a public folder with the intinary of all these byways. For example, there is the famous route 66, the A1A coastal…but there is so many more; actually there is more than 180 distinct byways compose of diverse roads…And if you want to discover the byways with gps navigation, you need to create a GPX routes via per via because has mention earlier, the byways are composed of a lot of different roads…
Probably there is already a lot of public routes that covers in part some of the official byways…that would be amazing to regroup them and put a « badge/tag » or what ever marker that could help a user to know that the formentionned public routes that he is consulting is an official byways of the U.S department.

Here is a page where you select a part. It opens google maps and shows byways as well. Unfortunately in German. App may translate
You should be able to copy the google maps link and sent to Scenic.
