Hi all, We are getting more progress on Vancouver Island, thanks to (haitelk) who has just added in more wooded area. And the new CVRD data is in the planning, discussing sorting data phase. :-) What we still need todo is make a tool that will automatically slice the NTS tiles (canvec .osm

It is possible to use Osmosis in this way. From [1]: osmosis --read-xml file=Canvec092C01.osm --bounding-box top=48.05 bottom=48 left=-124.1 right=-124 --write-xml file=Canvec092C01A.osm For my own work with geobase2osm.py I wrote a small bash shell script that will grab coordinates from Frank's

Hi Sam and all I'm wondering if the best tiling is a fixed number of tiles (5X5) or if it should be defined as a maximum size of some type for a tile. Using JOSM/Canvec files, I worked in high density urban areas where a 4X8 tiling was almost insufficient. For some rural areas, a 2X2 tiling

Hi, Nice ideas :) I wish Victoria, BC would have not dug up the old street-car line and paved it into a road. It would be great to see a rail line that isn't just a tourist train going 2 times a day. ... 1 time per direction. Sorry i cant be of much help right now, directly to you, but

Ideally, I'd like to model an entire transit system. Doable, either by yourself or in a team effort. Get yourself a copy of TS2010, the background can be brought in as DEM there are tools to do this. Scenery objects we have about 100,000 free ones so one or two should be suitable and if they
