Re: [Talk-ca] British Columbia Regional District boundary data
Looking further into the boundary data, it appears that on parts of RD boundaries at sea that don't use the stair step pattern, a line 4.8 km or 3 miles away from the coast is used. Is there an easy tool available to generate that 4.8 km range? - David E. Nelson___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
[Talk-ca] Coastline rendering in Quebec
On the talk-ca list there have been a few discussion about problems with flooded areas in southern Quebec. The conclusion seems to be that the problems are due to the rendering of the coastline which only gets updated every once in a while. The two cases are: * http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=45.6101lon=-73.4411zoom=13layers=M This problem is comparatively recent. Current data appears to be correct. Problem is visible on zoom=13 * http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=45.342lon=-74.24zoom=9layers=M This one has been around for at least 6 months. Current data appears to be correct. Problem is visible on zoom=9 We haven't been able to figure out who to contact about these issues. Can anyone point us in the right direction?

Re: [Talk-ca] New flooding between Alexandria and Montreal
The tiles need to be rerendered and over large areas they're not always detected as having changes so don't need to be rerendered. I know you can do it manually on a per-tile basis really easily. Right click on the map where it is map and open image in a new tab. Then append /dirty to the image url and click enter. E.g. visit the web address http://a.tile.openstreetmap.org/9/150/183.png/dirty That tile (9/150/183.png) will then be submitted for rendering, which under normal conditions will be done within an hour. It is *not* intended that you do this programicaly. You can repeat this for several tiles. I think eventually it should update anyway, but that might be something like a week. You may also just need to refresh your browser image cache. Click the permalink, then press F5 (or Cntrl+F5).

Re: [Talk-ca] Images satellite Bing Montréal et Québec
Just to add to this: in the Montreal area the alignment of the Bing imagery in my experience is very good. It is nonetheless a good idea to always also download the GPS tracks and make sure the images match those (and the Canvec import data). Harald (who has done a lot of aerial imagery-supported mapping in the Montreal area) 2012/6/6 Pierre Béland infosbelas-...@yahoo.fr: Pour ceux intéressés à cartographier dans la région de Montréal et de Québec, notez que l'imagerie Bing est très détaillée à Montréal et Québec. À Montréal, cette couverture s'étend sur une partie de la rive-sud et de la rive nord. Ne pas oublier d'indiquer source=Bing si vous utilisez ces images. Pour obtenir les images de haute résolution, il faut zoomer en détail. Puis soudainement, les images de très basse résolution sont remplacées par les images de meilleure qualité. Curieusement, la région du mont St-Hilaire est aussi couverte. Es-ce que quelqu'un connait l'étendue de ces images de haute résolution et les plans de Microsoft à cet égard ?
