Re: [Talk-ca] CanVec Imports in areas with existing data
On Sun, Nov 4, 2012 at 8:21 PM, Duncan Hill dun...@soncan.ca wrote: I've recently imported some CanVec 10 data into the North Bay, Ontario area. It's been hard to figure out the best way to do this because of the assorted versions of existing data in the area. After chatting with some folks in the #osm-ca channel, I left the existing major highways to preserve routing. Since this is the first time I've imported any CanVec data, I am wondering if this is the best way to do it when there is existing data in the area. I would really appreciate it if someone could take a look at my import in case I have broken something. Your import looks fine to me. In areas with existing data, you need to merge the existing data with the new data, by cutting and pasting new CanVec data into OSM and then merging it with old data (by joining roads that you copy from CanVec with existing roads, and cleaning up any old imported data that is inaccurate e.g. roads with the wrong name). This is time consuming but necessary. When you import street address data, please join the imported street address data with address data from adjacent CanVec tiles. This is very time consuming but needs to be done properly. Also the FixAddresses plugin in JOSM might be helpful to compare road names of imported street address data with road names in the database, although you should only use it on a small area, as it is really slow if you try to use it on a large area. ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

Re: [Talk-ca] CanVec Imports
I've done this sort of thing when my edit changes something so significantly that it no longer resembles what was imported -- for example, rerouting a way to conform with Bing imagery or with my own local knowledge. By the time I'm done with it, it's no longer Canvec; in some cases I've actually deleted the Canvec and traced something new over Bing imagery. I've been less good at updating the source tag to reflect the source of the changes (e.g., knowledge, Bing, survey, etc.).

Re: [Talk-ca] CanVec Imports
Maybe they altered the position of the lane slightly or merged it with another piece that didn't have come from CanVec? I know that's occasionally happened when I've been extending coverage of an area based on my GPS tracks. --G -Original Message- From: john whelan jwhelan0...@gmail.com Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 13:32:53 To: Talk-CA OpenStreetMaptalk-ca@openstreetmap.org Subject: [Talk-ca] CanVec Imports ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
