Re: [Talk-ca] BC Resource Roads

2012-11-13 Thread Sam Dyck
Resource Roads are tricky for me. They often have access restrictions and may be closed and barricaded once a lease expires or a forestry block has been replanted. (at least in Manitoba) I use either highway=track tracktype=grade3 or highway=path FIXME: verify accesibility by trucks and ATVs, may

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

Hi Pierre, I'm glad to see you're taking a constructive approach towards the discussion initiated by Paul :) I definitely agree something needs to be done to make imports more manageable, especially the Canvec import. There is also an amount of work left behind as I mentioned in my other

Frank Steggink  november 13 2012 16h13 Apart from the inconsistencies, there is for example also the Geobase import. In 2009 the available Geobase data didn't contain road names in Québec, and by then it was also not clear when it would contain names. So there are many areas which have roads

Bonjour, Je suis un nouveau participant au projet OSM, par contre je ne suis pas un débutant en cartographie et je saisis assez bien les termes de la discussion en cours. Mon intérêt est le canot-camping en région éloigné et la plus-part de mes zones d’intérêt sont au nord du 49 (au Québec),

Re: [Talk-ca] CanVec bug - splitting of long riverbank ways?

2012-11-13 Thread Brian Gamberg
Canvec data appears to be produced with a maximum of 2K nodes per way. I assume that this was an attempt by the Canvec people to meet the max 2K node criteria of the OSM database. When the split occurs in a way that is a member of a multipolygon, there's not a problem. Otherwise, as Paul has

2012-11-13 Thread Paul Norman
I have wondered about setting up a snapshot-server and loading CanVec on it then setting up a P2 deployment pointing at it. The problem with splitting by layers is that OSM data is not divided by layers (including planet files). In general if you have interdependent layers and you want to use
