I import exclusively in Northern BC and to my knowledge I am pretty much the only user who CANVEC's up there. I too download the whole CANVEC sheet area in JOSM. I often import overtop of Mr. Dunn's previous GeoBC road imports, but they are rarely, if ever in conflict. I always retain his

Okay, so I was using that spreadsheet back when I was doing my BC import (look at the 91-99 sheet, and some of the 81-89 sheet), but it seemed as if many people weren't using it and it was difficult to maintain. You can also see that Azub's imports seem to post-date mine by 1-2 years. Adam On

Hmm, I think the last time I did imports in BC was back in 2010, and I thought I was careful about leaving the map in a correct and consistent state. Azub's imports are all in the Prince George or north area, and I definitely know I haven't touched that area in a long time. Got any examples or
