Tips for using the template format edit
General tips edit
Please do not produce lists or notes, but always full sentences. Please hide the titles of sections that cannot be completed. Remove the <!-- --> tags on sections with content.
Most of the following tips apply only to German Bundesstraßen. The first article set up with this format was Bundesstraße 22.
Basic assistance can be obtained from a current road atlas.
Questions, tips and ideas can be discussed (mainly in German) at .
Maps edit
- http://opengeodb.de/examples/distance.php Enter here the start and end of a road (Bundesstraße). Via the link Auf Karte zeigen a map can be displayed in which the majority of long-distance roads are in grey. The graphics has the format PNG and can be saved directly - many browsers still give them the ending php oder html. In the graphics the route can be drawn in red (FF0000 bzw. 255,0,0). An image description is (Beispiel: B2_Karte.png). Permission to use these maps under the GFDL was confirmed by User:Akl.
