Re: [Talk-ca] Importing building and routing info regionally/locally (Jonathan)

I was under the impression that most buildings in both Port Hope and
Cobourg had been manually mapped.

Now the outlines have been done it really needs boots on the ground to add
detail.  There are addresses from Canvec which give an address range so
Stats might have something better but I'm not sure.

What exactly are you looking for?  I'm sure if you and Kelsey were to sit
down over a mug of coffee as the local mappers to the area you may decide
that a buildings import would be useful but I'm not sure how many more
buildings remain to be mapped in the area.

Ditto Kevin’s post. Erik, I live in Cobourg and have an interest in working 
with local mappers to map Northumberland County. At the moment we only have one 
novice (myself) and Kelsey Saunders, a GIS grad.
