I didn't include the latest-update data as a tag, but i could. Austin, has experience with school tagging, as the area of the school would not include the 'building=yes' so then it all shows up better. > I feel comfortable doing the CanVec import for my home town because I know > the area well enough to omit poor data, but I don't know if I should go > ahead with CanVec conversion for other areas.

Maybe do a reverse select, and save that .osm file (which omits the area you just worked on) as a the-rest-of-data.osm file, and keep in handy (on your computer). Since your the main-mapper for the tile area, other local mappers would consult you as to what data to copy over. (you can also list the details on the main Canada Import Chart if you like, but not necessary) This is why i made the files as 2000 points or less so it's easier to deal with. I could go smaller, say 1000, or 500 for certain features? Would that be better? > > Adam > > I just emailed you about this, that was quick :) > _______________________________________________ > Talk-ca mailing list > Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca > >
