Re: [Talk-ca] Ice Roads

Wikipedia describes ice roads nicely as well. The NWT government maintains a live website which allows travellers to check on the condition of the ice roads. There are a number of interesting website links off of these pages. James VE6SRV ___ Talk-ca

Re: [Talk-ca] What we dont know from GeoBase

combination of the data present. Even without the support of the editors, we could make the scripts do the zero conflict tiles import right now. What say you? James VE6SRV ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org

Re: [Talk-ca] GeoBase Goals

know how, and make it known when there's going on, so others can chime in if they can. Yup, keep on doing that... sometimes you dig up some good information. James VE6SRV ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org

you're describing is a decent way to go, but there are going to be issues with that too... things to solve well down the road though. James VE6SRV ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

Re: [Talk-ca] GeoBase import woes...

would be easier, as it would include only the ways that didn't make the cut, and would be the ones that would need to be imported. JOSM has a form of this. Just need to find out how to use JOSM, and then find out how to select the interesting ways, and then how to do a bulk tag change. James

Re: [Talk-ca] Merging OSM + Geobase

problems. If you look at the example from Camrose, you will see that some GeoBase roads stop short of the OSM way, while others cross the OSM way. If a new node was added and connected to the node that crosses the OSM, it will look like there's a mini off ramp or something. James VE6SRV
