The attached script (some form of unix/linux required) should take the various raw shapefiles (which you will have to download from statscan, geobase and nrcan and the cloudmade osm extract) and populate a postgis database with the required data.
You can then run the create-shapefile.sh script to generate stored shpfiles for your NTS tiles.
Your steps will be 1. Install postgis + osm2pgsql 2. Get the datafiles for the province you want to work in3. Make sure the environment variables at the top of the populate-db.sh script are correct (ie point to the files you've gotten etc...)
4. Run the populate-db.sh script.5. Create a file listing the NTS tiles you want, see the top of create-shapefiles.sh for the format
6. Run create-shapefiles.shLet me know how this works, I suspect this script will need a bit of tweaking before you can run it in an environment different than my own, nor have I done much testing of this assembled script.
Hope this helps.
Hi Steve, (or others?) Perhaps you can the process of converting the .gml files into .osm and skip explaination of the road matcher process. This way, we will have instructions on how to create these .complete.osm files, and let the local people manually 'copy/paste' the roads that they want. Albiet slow, but effective. And making these big-complete-osm province-size (or smaller) files available. Sorry if im beating a horse here, on Wednesday on uStream.tv i can explain the concept better :-) cheers, Sam V On 9/25/09, Sam Dyck <samueld...@gmail.com> wrote:Hi It's fine, I just keep using Potlatch and JOSM and the Yahoo! Aerial Imagery. I live in Winnipeg, which is Geobase tile 62 (sorry if you mean something else or that is not specific enough). The City of Winnipeg should have all roads named (along with many other things) soon thanks to some great people who have worked hard, but many of the smaller towns will be difficult to do beacuse of the poor quality of the Ariel imagry I have started to experiment with street numbers since there is no source (yet) for Manitoba (unless these are in the StatsCan data).

If someone is able to help me installRoadMatcheron (open)JUMP and create Shapefiles from OSM data on a Debian GNU/Linux system. Again, if it is such an odious task forget it. But to the best of knowledge there is no one importing data for these provinces, and itwouldallow me to focus on other features of the map if this data was imported.
