There's another big reason to use NHN -- streams aren't artificially split on tile boundaries in NHN. Less cleanup work to do. Overall, here's my current summary for best data for Canada:
- Geobase NRN for roads. I still find RoadMatcher to be very useful, plus, just like with NHN, ways aren't actual split on tile boundaries. Less stitching to do. - NHN for streams/lakes - Statscan vector for admin boundaries - CanVec for everything else. With all of the above, copy/paste rather than tracing over raster. Michael.
