Partial line

The line in the dataset measures 389.5 km against a published 480 km (−18.9%).

Partly unbuilt, by design: 389.5 km in 12 parts against 480 km planned (300 mi). About 220 mi is built; the OSM line follows built segments plus some planned corridor. Kept: it is the best whole-corridor line that exists.

GPX is simplified to 5 m for devices. GeoJSON is the full-resolution line as published in this dataset. Neither carries elevation.
