Hello:
For what's it is worth, I'm slowly systematically importing Canvec
data. This is one really, really big country :-) Did I say really big.
For example Tile 0.0 then 0.1 then 0.2 etc
I'm up to Tile 041 I04 2.3
http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/CanvecImports/edits
So if you like I could jump ahead or behind as is this case :-)
Looks like the area you are referencing is 032 D 04
It is a painfully slow process of merging wetlands and forests,
removing duplicate nodes etc. I'm doing this by hand, while reviewing
the data quality of the import.

Re: [Talk-ca] Canadian imports: good or bad?
Hello: I would take from this discussion that canvec data needs to be imported into the white spaces of Canada. I may be missing some historical experience / discussion of this process. Part of the fun aspect of OSM is finding things wrong on the map and correcting it. I think this is how people get hooked on OSM. Letting errors creep in may in fact help to get more people interested in OSM. Some guide lines should be developed to give mappers direction on how to import canvec. When a mapper undertakes to import a canvec square due care be taken to verify as much as possible using imagery overlay. I realize with some imagery your going to be awful lucky if you can even spot a road or river down there :-) When importing canvec the mapper / importer should treat the area they are importing as they would their own neighbourhood. If the area importing contain a large body of water convert it to natural= coastline. Run validator against each tile to minimize crossing ways and such. When streams cross a road assume that a culvert exists and the stream go under the road. Judgment would have to be used depending on the some urban, remoteness, primary road vs hiking trail aspect. I'm at a loss what should be done with those big square polygons? Joining / removing ways that are spit due to the tile nature of the canvec data. Now if someone would move that darn cloud in Sydney so I could tell if the train tracks go under the road :-) Comments, I think I should probably crawl under a rock I may have stirred a hornets nest. I'm going to go out geocaching, judging by the number of caches in an area there must be a trail there that not on the map yet.

Ideally local. 2 Canada is a huge country. I doubt that there are that many people willing to commit to mapping every nook. I'm sure the amount of No Trespassing signs itself would prevent it. 3 OSM is promoting itself as a competitor to google. 4 I would suspect most mappers are not aware of the license change coming and the resulting impact. Given the size of Canada, and the few mappers we have. I my self could not and probably would not have never walked / driven on every road, trail, river, lake forest etc without some else doing an import first which I myself used a base to improve OSM. I don't see any possible way to have a map without an import to use as a base. To counter my own points, Yes, you will find some people who see a great white spot as a challenge. But looking at the changes made locally I would think most people would rather tweak an existing road or park.

Two of the high-volume decline accounts are primarily imports that have not been subsequently edited. That means the effected data can easily be re-imported for a net-zero change. I recommend that we remove that data now, without delay. That will simplify current cleanup activities by: - removing trivial doomed data - making interesting data cleaning opportunities easier to see I'd like to request that the data working group purge that data for us. What do you think about requesting the removal of objects that are: - created by the known-bad accounts - version 1 (that is, they have not been modified by another mapper) - not ways tagged natural=coastline That will reduce the cleanup in Canada by about an order of magnitude with zero negative effect. Thoughts? Request this of DWG, or no? I'm currently removing / replacing the data in the London area. How many mappers are there out there, that are recreating the currently tainted map data? Right now I'm using the OSM inspector to flag what I have to replace. If / Once the data is purged I would not know what needs to be done. As a side note, I was using the JOSM plugin to flag the tainted data. But using the OSM inspector seems to flag a lot more data. Personally I would like to know, which tool is a better indicator of what is going to be removed. So, to sum it up, I would like to keep the tainted data around for a while just so I know what needs to be done. Given that I should be finished cleaning up the London area probably next week I don't think I would be affected by a earlier purge.

Hello: I'm looking forward to the geobase data import. From reading the various emails have I grasped the options correctly?

Geobase updates: 1 - When geobase data is updated create a difference file to upload. 2 - Do nothing Final idea: -- Just upload geobase as a ONE TIME event and let the users/mappers clean it up?
