• Comment. It is a very nice map (I can't speak at all for accuracy since I don't know a thing about Indian roadways). My only negative feeling is that it is very, very busy—there are lots of very small cities indicated which are not on any of the roadways. I would support if it was trimmed to something closer to the minimum information needed to understand the roadway system—at the moment it is so full of information that it is hard to get a sense of what is meant by the big picture, and most of the information is too small to ever been seen unless it was hugely blown up. Also, on the legend, some of the text (the "Disputed" parts) do not seem to be rendering well with Mediawiki's SVG renderer. I find that spacing things out a little better helps with that. --Fastfission 19:43, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
•  Support -- big work, seems accurate. ♦ Pabix ^ℹ 08:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
•  Support — Indeed, it's a lot of work. But I agree with the comment above. If small cities are not included, then it would be great. About the accuracy, I not an expert either. Indon 10:44, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Author comment The map has been created in such a way that, from the thumbnail, state capitals and major cities can be located. By opening the largest raster version [1], major towns and tourist places can be located. And only by zooming into the vector version, can small towns by located. The places that you see that are not on the road network are places of tourist intrest only. Regarding accuracy, the map can be cross checked with, w:List of National Highways in India, Maps of India website(outdated) or Survey of India map explorer. This map is the only complete national highway map available on the net --Planemad 11:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

•  Support Nice and high quality map --Leclerc 15:07, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
•  Comment Well, but maybe the road legend (which color is which road) could be put in the file too ... either on the right of the legend, or in southeast or northwest corner of them map. This would improve the map even further bit. Since if you print just the file without it's description, the road legen is not there ... --Leclerc 15:32, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
•  Support The quality is very good. I'm not happy with the way the map-maker has chosen to indicate the status of Kashmir (for example, it would be as true to call the Pakistani-controlled area "(disputed) Indian territory" as it is to say so for the Indian-controlled area), but this thorny political issue should not stand in the way of a good map being featured.
