Yes the new canvec are split into different types of data: hydro data(lakes rivers etc), forest(loads of fun), transportation(this is what you want), etc On Sep 12, 2016 4:08 PM, "Martijn van Exel" wrote: > Aren't these files grouped by feature type? So if we look at roads we >

Aren't these files grouped by feature type? So if we look at roads we wouldn't also necessarily need to look at land use boundaries etc.? At least that's what I am getting looking at http://geogratis.gc.ca/api/en/nrcan-rncan/ess-sst/23387971-b6d3-4ded-a40b-c8e832b4ea08.html -- Martijn van Exel

Paul, thanks, so perhaps we can start a new one for this data. Perhaps we can crowdsource it? Has that been done before? (Wouldn't it be interesting to have a github repo with the translation file, and each time a commit is made an ogr2osm run is fired and the resulting OSM file made available

Plus it would help identify which parts and canvec are actually needed vs importing a bunch of forests and hoping for some roads On Sep 11, 2016 2:48 PM, "John Marshall" wrote: > Great idea Martijn, > > One of the big problems of OSM in Canada is there are many missing road >

Great idea Martijn, One of the big problems of OSM in Canada is there are many missing road where there are no local mappers. Canada is very big. Any tools to help map unmapped area of Canada gets a big +1 from me. John John Marshall On Sep 9, 2016 17:36, "Martijn van Exel"

Hi all, A few colleagues at Telenav and myself are looking at Canvec 2016. Roads specifically. I am sure some of you already have done that. Something we are looking into a workflow that is something like this (simplified): Canvec 2016 Shapefiles --> Conflation engine (Cygnus [1]) --> Tasking
