[Talk-ca] Surrey Imagery

2011-12-15 Thread Paul Norman
Thanks to iandees, the imagery from Surrey BC is now mirrored with an OSM US server. It can be accessed with an imagery URL of tms[10,20]:http://{switch:a,b,c}.tile.osm.osuosl.org/tiles/bc_surrey_2011/{z oom}/{x}/{y}.png in JOSM, or http://a.tile.osm.osuosl.org/tiles/bc_surrey_2011/$z/$x/$y.png in

[Talk-ca] CanVec Imports

2011-12-15 Thread john whelan
Why would someone remove a tag that says Canvec import? They had added a cycle lane but removed the Canvec Import tag at the same time. Thanks John ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

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

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

2011-12-15 Thread Tyler Gunn
I've been merging Canvec tiles here in Manitoba over the past while, and although I can clearly see the need to do this manually where this is pre-existing data, I'm wondering what peoples thoughts are about automating this process where there is NO pre-existing data in the location bounded by a
