Thanks,http://www.safe.com/products/desktop/overview.php I think thats the product your referring to? Looks like it possible to get 14 days per user key?
Anyway, it seems like your method is similar, just that you grab the area before it gets converted to OSM format. The only challenge we still have is that it doesn't retain the NID, nor can it automatically create tags for each feature ID. But as long as the source looks back to CanVec, the legal standpoint should be fine. Does anyone know how to create a java script that will attach OSM tags to SHP files? (so it can be added on to this shp-to-osm script? ... Until then, this manual effort seems fine. BUT I will wait till i hear from the rest of the team (talk-ca) list before proceeding to go full steam ahead. :) Thanks, Sam On Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 8:23 AM, Michel Gilbert <michc...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > 2009/2/20 Sam Vekemans <acrosscanadatra...@gmail.com> > >> Thanks, >> What was the method you used to import the buildings? >> > > You that I am a FME fan.
