Having this feature, even in those cases where the road is a flat dead-end, does help the map user identify that the map is not incomplete & there is no missing road segment. Sometimes we have these in residential areas where a road could possably connect to a major free-way. So indicating that there is a 'end-stop' in the road helps the map users. It is easy todo a search for 'fixme' when looking at an area & see what can be worked on, as local are mappers will be able to provide more details ie. fences / patches of grass / wooded_area etc. So for turning_circle, i'd vote to keep it as it is, with the note for internal mappers. * I'll also add that into the wiki chart as a discussion note. We can include other pros/cons about this so it is documented. > > - Junction of Bedford-Lady Hammond-Windsor Street respects the GeoBase and > Canvec content! > > - Overlapping features.

Basically, using the Toporama as a basemap while working & preference to the local area mapper dropping the data in, can decide what todo. Just because the data is available, does not mean it all needs to be imported. Alot of work has gone into Importing the geobase NRN & GeoBase NHN & CanVec features & tracing & osm of course, 'regular' mapping already. So in some areas, there has been significant on-the-ground changes. So there will be alot of fine-tuning. These wonderful address:interpolation ways will need to be manually adjusted, especially at complex intersections. Remember that we also have WMS layers & shp files from Ontario directly, these shp files can be converted and used to compare with what exists. Ontario has an incredible amount of building area's (for example) all of which can be used in a WMS layer (if it is not already provided by MNR, this can be provided & made externally) Cheers, Sam > > Cheers, > > Daniel > > _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
