Hi
I had an opportunity to visit the town of Morris, Manitoba
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/index.html?mlat=49.355&mlon=-97.365&zoom=15&layers=B000FTF).
Seeing as little mapping had been done in that area, I resolved to map
it. My usual technique involves surveying the streets at home, then
printing out the map and making notes. Unfortunately Yahoo! aerial
imagery for that area is non existent and I couldn't get the Geobase WMS
server to serve the Geobase imagery in JOSM.
So I downloaded the appropriate GeoTIFF from Geobase and built the
unstable version of Merkaartor from source, the build I created was just
that, unstable. So I tried converting the TIFF to a JPEG and using
JOSM's Piclayer plugin, which sadly also failed, as did my attempts at
downloading the NRN and CanVec data directly and importing it into JOSM
and an older version of Merkaartor. I tried using actual GIS software,
but realized that I know very little about how to use it and didn't have
time to learn. By this time it was getting pretty late and I had to get
up early the next morning. So I opened up the Geobase image in Inkscape
and created a rough trace of the roads from that.
So I know have a rough sketch of the roads and names to go with them,
however, I need someone to import the roads into OSM for me so I can
finish the job. The Canvec Dataset is 62H6.
Thanks
Sam
