Re: [Talk-ca] Nts tile names

Sam,

   Each CanVec tile has a date in its XML metadata (in the 
lineagesrcinfosrctime tag).  Perhaps it might be useful.

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

 'year valid' is what we need (doesnt need to be exact).
 
 In other news, i found the pictorial representation of the country in
 NTS tile #'s. It'll be handy later.
 
 Great find!
 cheers,
 Sam

 Hi Sam,

 Yes, i think there is a limit to the number of rows that
 GoogleSpreadsheet will allow.. so im not sure how to deal with
 that yet. .. it's a work in progress :-)

 Split up per province, or per 8x4 degree sheet?
 By the way, I noticed you've started correcting the rows I've
 merged. I've completed them now. An in case you didn,'t know, here
 [1] is a NRCan site where you can find all tile names. Could be
 useful for the spreadsheet, but adding them might be a very big
 task, or you need to export the data from Google, and import them
 later ;) Not sure if that is possible.

 hi, can you attach the link again? I think it was missed.

 Cheers,
 Sam

Thanks,
Does anyone know how to create a little java program that can take
details from the .xml file, and the .htm file and rename the folder
with select details?
I dont know how todo that in DOS (if its possable) either.

Re: [Talk-ca] Nts tile names

Hi Again,

Actually, i think with my latest modifications to the CanVec data status
import chart, As long as the folder where these .osm.zip files can be found
is listed, the actual file name is irrelevant.   Especially if these zip
files are stored on different servers, as long as the link still works it
should be fine.

I think all the relevant details, are already listed in the chart.

And for the big (always pressing) question about how to deal with updates of
canvec data.  I think that it would just be a matter of local preference.

I will be able to (and planning on) creating a more smarter script that will
be able to look at the download directory and check the date  but for
now, this manual way is fine :-)   (does anyone know how todo that? (not
using ibuntu) :)

Cheers,
Sam
