I made a cool wiki page about Canada WMS layers http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Toporama_WMS and this is the JOSM link, just right-click and change resolution when you have the WMS layer running, you'll see all the tile #s http://wms.ess-ws.nrcan.gc.ca/wms/indexcouverture_cantopo?LAYERS=background%2Creference%2Ccoverage%2Cgrid%2Cboundaries%2Cplacename&VERSION=1.1.0&FORMAT=image/png&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&; and Edmonton is 083H12 http://www.geobase.ca/geobase/en/browse.do?produit=cded&decoupage=50k&map=083H (looking at the geobase map) ftp://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/osm/pub/083/H/ ftp://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/osm/pub/083/H/083H12.zip and it would be 083H12.3.3.2.osm (which is just to the west of Edmonton (downtown) ftp://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/osm/pub/083/H/083H11.zip and 083H11.0.0.1.osm (which looks to be the downtown core) ... it has the Central Station & the City hall... so i think thats the downtown area. Ya... it was a little hard to find. As there is lots of tiles in the region. Some of the stuff is out-dated especially in the city. .. as there's lots of construction. (i think) So ya.. it'll take time to work in. I'd recommend starting in the area you know and work outwards. As others in the region will most probably be starting to help out. Looking at the data, it looks like it will be a manual copy/paste of the house numbers/addresses. So starting in 1 corner, getting all the features needed in and going city-block by city-block. And uploading bits at a time. That way, when someone else wants to help out, you can easily share where you've left off, and others can continue on. Feel free jump on the #OSM-Ca irc chat, the more people online, the better chance someone will be able to help out :) Cheers, Sam > James > VE6SRV > > _______________________________________________ > Talk-ca mailing list > Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca > _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
