[Talk-ca] mygeodata.eu - canvec gml 2 shp
Hi, So apparently mygeodata.eu is able to convert the .gml files of canvec into .shp file. then (of course) shp-to-osm.jar to convert it to osm, and josm to convert it to .gpx The only challenge is the map projection that i cant get right. The .gml files are great, as it's a national and provincial set of each of the features as layers .. Its only the building structure .. and another theme that is big. So it would be cool if someone who knows how, to convert it to .shp format, or explain how (using python) .and just share the files.

Just for info, Merkaartor 0.17 should be able to open your gml directly (as far as GDAL can...) If you have problems, send me an example and I'll fix it for you. - Chris - ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

What is the maximum file size that it can handle? The size of your RAM. I don't know what your gml's are made of but importing a whole city should work. unlike josm, where i can pump up the ram that the program uses, is there a way to make it use more resources? See above. Merkaartor is a native program, so it can uses whatever resources your machine has. If you send me one of the gml, I could tell you if Merkaartor can handle it. - Chris - ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
[Talk-ca] Schools becoming prisons in Canvec 7
Hi I've been merging the street names from Canvec 7 in areas in Manitoba with Canvec 6 imports sans street names. And I noticed that what CanVec 6 called schools have all become prisons in Canvec 7. Now I aware of prison overcrowding problems but I doubt that all the schools in southern Manitoba have become penitentiaries. How would I go about reporting this error?

Daniel Bégin, our friend at NRCan, monitors this list. So I think you just reported it! ;-) I wonder if you could include a couple of examples and uids, just in case?
