I've seen some of these deviations as well during Canvec import. Because they are so small (< 1 meter), I just decided to glue the polygons together, so any slivers are gone.

It is inconvenient though. Could it be related to that some sheets were originally still in NAD27, instead of NAD83 (which is approximately WGS84, as used by OSM)?

the south east corner of 021O10.0 is at 47.5000034 by -66.7500013
the north east corner of 021O07.1 (should be exact same node), is at 47.5000000 by -66.7500000 the exact offset differs from corner to corner, some are off more then others, some are off in a different direction

Bonjour,

I'll have a look to see if I can do something for it in the next release.

I suspect that might be caused by data resolution. Lat and Lon are stored in decimal degrees with 7 digits precision (48.1234567). The 7th digit will provide a precision around 0.001 meter. The 6th digit a precision around 0.027 meter witch look like your 0.03 meter.

Cheers
Daniel

Subject: [Talk-ca] canvec data offset

ive been working with canvec for a few days now, and ive noticed some of the data is offset by 0.03 meters its not matching up with nearby tiles

for example 021O10 doesnt match up with 021O07

ive noticed the problem on other tiles aswell, but didnt think to write them down
