Hi all, We are getting more progress on Vancouver Island, thanks to (haitelk) who has just added in more wooded area. And the new CVRD data is in the planning, discussing & sorting data phase. :-)
What we still need todo is make a tool that will automatically slice the NTS tiles (canvec .osm files) into 25 pieces, so then a local area mapper can easly take 1 square at a time & work with it, choosing the data that they need to add in. I think that OSmosis has this ability, has anyone varified this? This will be of great help to everyone, as we are also using the Toporama WMS layer to be tracing & using it for reference. Otherwise, if we dont have the 1/25th tile area, its harder to ensure that no 'bulk_implopping' happens where the user gets lazy and doesnt bother to check the area 1st. Since the 1/25th tile size is a standard JOSM working space, we would (just about all of the time), have only 1 mapper is working at a time. (even in the big cities, this size is managable). Oh, this whole CanVec dataset would be great to host on a different API, (like i talked about on my last message for OpenImportsMap does anyone know if perhaps the devAPI would be a good place for it? Or should we make a new one that is dedicated to wholesale imports?
