I've been looking at StatCan's GeoSearch 2006 map [ http://geodepot.statcan.ca/GeoSearch2006/GeoSearch2006.jsp?minx=4432901.48950264&miny=2238764.61686325&maxx=4434592.66597324&maxy=2239794.02862796&LastImage=http://geodepot.statcan.ca/Diss/Output/GeoSearch2006_geodepotfarm531483932432153.gif&resolution=H&lang=E&switchTab=0] and it seems like vreimer isn't using that one as a copy. Interestingly, Stats Can and NRN disagree with each other on some of the same points that I noticed in vreimer's differences against NRN, but Stats Can introduces yet another variation of errors in the Valemount area. In other words, vreimer, Google, Bing, NRN, and Stats Can all have slightly different versions of Valemount. Not one of those is exactly like any of the others.
For some things that vreimer had differed from NRN, he was a match for Stats Can, but then for some things he was different than Stats Can. For example, the Williams Drive/Juniper/Larch area, vreimer had a topological match to Stats Can (Williams Drive extending past Juniper, and no Larch at all), but Stats Can calls it Williams Rd, whereas NRN says Dr, and vreimer has Dr. I looked at Atlas of Canada, but didn't see a "slippy" map that shows street names. Is there a map from Atlas of Canada that has street names without having to download the data and open it up in some GIS software?
