Original - Map of the Appalachian Trail.

Reason: High quality SVG image coming from a reliable source. It shows relevant peaks, parks and political boundaries as well as the trail itself. Adds greatly to the text description of the route.

Comment: I think the default size should be bigger- the text should be readable at "full" size. J Milburn (talk) 00:49, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree with this. JJ Harrison (talk) 09:28, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - By default size do you mean in the article or the size that the .svg opens at when clicked. If it's the second you're after, I'm not sure how to do that. 2000px (in .png) seems to be a good size for readability though. Cowtowner (talk) 15:42, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - It is possible to change the nominal image size. I thought I knew how to do this and attempted to do so, but it didn't work, so I've reverted. Chick Bowen 20:29, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - For me what it opens as when clicked on. JJ Harrison (talk) 23:15, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Hmm, well hopefully that gets resolved by someone with the technical know how. But it's more or less a moot point as holding Ctrl and scrolling lets us take advantage of the rescalable beauty of .svgs and courtesy .png copies are provided. 02:14, 17 March 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cowtowner (talk • contribs)
        You say that like my scroll wheel isn't broken. :P JJ Harrison (talk) 06:59, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Haha, still not a problem. Ctrl and + or - will do just the same. Stop your excuses ;-) Cowtowner (talk) 13:13, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not readable at full size? It is for me, and I don't see a change in the file history. If it really is too small, name a better size, and I'll make the change. There's some broken text that needs fixing anyway. Makeemlighter (talk) 03:18, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - The large PNG size (2000px) makes the text readable, but the "nominal" size of the svg (viewed when you just click on the image on the file description page in Firefox) is 710px wide, where most of the text is unreadable. There is a lot of broken text in there, it would be nice if you could fix it. You may try reimporting from the original PDF (I tried this, but I got the same issue because I lacked some fonts). While you're in there editing =) –remove/leave out the blank space around the map. Jujutacular ^talk 07:53, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - The words are all path (i.e. un-editable), which is only a problem because it makes it harder to fix. Will you suspend this while I work on it? Makeemlighter (talk) 22:44, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Conditional Support Needs the change above. JJ Harrison (talk) 06:59, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This map needs more work than I thought to bring it up to our FP standard. It'll be a few more days. Makeemlighter (talk) 02:41, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
