Hi all. I've got a bunch of shapefile data for the island of Newfoundland that
I'm intending to use in Terragear. It's called Canvec data, and I think I'm
going to need to use ogr-decode on it to get it into WGS84 format. Provided I'm
understanding this correctly, that is. Everything in the data set is in the
.shp format, but unlike the VMAP0 that I've used previously, it's devided into
many geographical subsections. These subsections are organized using the
National Topographic System. So I think I need to re-organize them before I use
shape-decode. Is that correct?
I'm assuming that this means I need to run ogr-decode on them. How do I use
ogr-decode to convert a large number of road shapefiles (for example) to the
shapefile that shape-decode is expecting to see? Will the final result be one
shapefile for all the roadways in Newfoundland, or will that combination not
happen until after I've run shape-decode? Almost all the references I've found
on doing this assume that I'll use VMAP0 data (which I have before), then say
that you can also try other data sets, but give almost no information on how to
do that. Any guidance on how I need to go about doing all this would be greatly
appreciated. I think it's probably all fairly strait forward, but I sure can't
find any good instructions!
