Shape location references of Adopted Roads.

Featured Replies

I know there is a lot of knowledge amongst posters here.  I hope someone can help me with my own lack of knowledge:

I have located my LA’s list of maintained (adopted) roads. It is in a format I have never seen before but I have been able to transfer it into a spreadsheet.

Each road is listed with 2 references. One is headed: Shape_STAr,N,19,11 and the other is headed Shape_STLe,N,19,11. I suspect that if I had the correct software these would show me the precise location and shape of the road in question.

 

Unfortunately, there are two roads with the same description so I don’t know which one is the one beside my home.

  In my case the given information is as follows:

Road 1

Shape_STAr,N,19,11 reference is: 75.70359802250

Shape_STLe,N,19,11 reference is: 37.50454297700.

Road 2

Shape_STAr,N,19,11 reference is: 608.16575622600

Shape_STLe,N,19,11 reference is: 206.32219738100.

 

Obviously, these road lists are not intended for public consumption – hence all the above rather than a simple Lat and Long for the location.

Does anyone have the knowledge and/or software to give me precise locations for these two roads?  A Lat & Long or a screen grab from a map would do me.

.

Many, many thanks.

Problem solved - was able to import the shapefile to Google Earth.

 

Thanks for looking.
