Usually, in remote areas of the north that I've dealt with, there is often little else already there than the Landsat lakes. And usually, in a given tile, there is usually just a handful of lakes. In pretty much every case I've dealt with so far, I've replaced the Landsat lakes with Canvec

A really simple answer that gets lost is this: Did you make the edits to the best of your ability, and your edits add value to the OSM project? If so, then it was the right thing to do. We all bring different levels of ability, and may not do things perfectly according to the experts, but if

Hi Paul, It probably won't come to you as a surprise if I would say it is acceptable, but to a certain degree. A map with no data is not a map. A map with inconsistent data is still a map, but obviously something is not right. A map with perfectly consistent data doesn't need to tell the

I ran into many of the same issues when I started importing Canvec data for the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. But, in my case, the arguments I had were with myself. When I started, most of the province was a blank slate with only the (PGS) coastline in the OSM database. There

I've already said what I have to say about the issue at hand in earlier discussion. A more lighthearted remark: whenever I feel depressed about some Canvec-related issue I load up JOSM, pick a random location in the US, and spend half an hour fixing TIGER data. It's a very effective therapeutic...

Is it the communities view that it is okay to import CanVec without reconciling the internal differences between the layers? I believe it is. The great thing about OSM data is it is not written in stone. An import or edit can be changed in the future. The data is inserted for use by
