# Asset Road General Import

### Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

You can add/or update road and road segment information using the Asset Road General Import option.

Road data may be exported from your organisation's systems (such as a your Geographical Information System). When exporting and importing to avoid the import failing, make sure to plan the correct field mappings.

It it preferred to import each road segment with a meaningful name to help users that select the asset to work with, e.g: long road name, segment 6 (333m – 555m).\
If possible have the whole road as an extra asset.

Refer to the register page for general instructions:
