Re: [Talk-ca] British Columbia Regional District boundary data

2012-06-07 Thread David E. Nelson
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?

The first Regional District, Capital, has been uploaded to the database.  I 
would like to know if it has been integrated into OpenStreetMap properly, and 
whether I can continue with the remaining 27.

Looks good. I didn't know the BC Gov had adopted that license. Almost
as good as Surrey and their use of the PDDL.

Indeed, I have been using JOSM for every part of assembling and maintaining 
this data set.

David,

If you import the file into JOSM, you should see these steps and repair easily. 


Other then that, everything is fine. As you can see, Nominatim searches are now 
more efficient around Victoria.

BTW, as the import progresses north along the BC Coast, that stairstep 
pattern is going to reappear on the sea boundary of other Regional Districts.  
This pattern, again, was found in the original boundary data as obtained from 
DataBC.

 I accidentally duplicated a way on the Canada-U.S. Border.  I believe that I
 have now fixed that, and the borders now share a way, as they properly
 should.  Can you confirm?

 I just looked at the layer in the CRD's database and we have it
 following the US Border, than that stepped pattern. No idea where that
 mistake came from.

 That stairstep pattern was found in the original DataBC Tantalis RD
 boundary
 data, which should mean that that is the area geographically gazetted to
 the
 CRD by the Province.

 Pierre,

 I see the steps too. I suspect that might be a drawing error, but I
 need
 to
 look more closely.

 (for the record, I am an employee of the CRD in Regional

 I forgot to discuss about the boundary itself. Why the southern part
 look like steps and do not follow the red line division?
