Adding lines (shp, kml...)

I am making a touristic route of my town and i would like to add a line which will show people which streets(instead of straight lines) they should be using.

    This is an interesting idea. So you have (or can make) your own shapefile with the routes you want?

    Would you have a different file (or layer) for each slide? Or just a layer that you'd like to see overlaid on the base tiles?

    The absolute easiest way to do this would be to use MapBox to add your route to maptiles. But with some more information about how people would want to add other layers, we could at least start to imagine how to support this.

    I'm afraid it would be pretty complicated to support this with our authoring tool, at least while it is in early stages of development.

    Let us know a little more about how you imagine this working.

    I have a similar question - I want to show the evolution of a trail system I helped build. We used .gpx track files to plan out an ultimately build the trails. When the trail was completed we basically walked the new corridor with a gps unit to build our map.

    It would be great to show the original trail system then systematically show it's growth and development with each new slide. The last slide would be a comprehensive look at the complet system's gpx track...

    I've never used MapBox, but will explore your recommendation.
