[Talk-ca] NTS tile 040P
Hello, I believe I am looking for a subtile of 040P but the directory ftp://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/osm/pub/040/P/ is empty. This brings up a related point: Is there a web page that makes it easy to find the tile you want? A mashup would be ideal. I took a quick look at the openstreetmap OpenLayers api and it has at least some of the capability needed. In fact, given a list of the centers of the tiles, we could use the example, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Openlayers_POI_layer_example with trivial modifications to display an icon on each one. Clicking on an icon would display the URL for the corresponding osm file. Here is what textfile.txt would look like: lat lon title description iconiconSizeiconOffset 48.9459301 9.6075669 040J03.3.osmTo get the .osm file for this tile go tobrftp://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/osm/pub/040/J/040J03.zip Ol_icon_blue_example.png24,24 0,-24 [the coordinates in the above are not correct] There are some issue, though, which I can go into if people like this idea. -- James (Jay) Treacy tre...@debian.org ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

Bonjour James, When I clik on the link you provide I can see all expected 040PXX files (the directory is not empty). May be you are trying to access them through http? Have a look at http://geogratis.gc.ca/geogratis/en/faq.html#q4 We don't have the ressources to provide the community with something else for the moment.

I personally use a poster sized NTS map of BC to identify tiles and a sheet of plastic over top of it to write notes as I import, but it'd be nice having a map with at least basic features (rivers, lakes) with a NTS overlay. I also have a poster sized map of the city with a grid on it for when I have to systematically do something to the entire city area by area. ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
