[Talk-ca] Aerial imagery for Nanaimo, BC

Does anyone know of an OSM-compatible free WMS source we can use for aerial imagery for all of Nanaimo?  Bing does not have street-level imagery for Nanaimo north of 49.14°N and east of 123.94°W, and all of the sources I can find for that imagery (Google, the City of Nanaimo itself) are walled

Re: [Talk-ca] Merging ways

No.  There is no automated process in Potlatch2 that can do a so-called logical union of areas at the moment.  The best way to do this right now is manually.  You might want to ask the developers of Potlatch2 if they can code it up for you. - David E. Nelson - Original Message

Re: [Talk-ca] British Columbia Regional District boundary data

Looking further into the boundary data, it appears that on parts of RD boundaries at sea that don't use the stair step pattern, a line 4.8 km or 3 miles away from the coast is used.  Is there an easy tool available to generate that 4.8 km range? - David E.
