Based on an earlier discussion on the OSM Canada board, I've been trying to figure out what is the best way of correcting the floating island error that has been plaguing the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Specifically, the error occurs from two directions. The first is localized on the Cape Breton island area of Nova Scotia (for example, http://keepright.ipax.at/report_map.php?schema=104&error=25004109) and the other is located along the northern coast of Quebec (for example, http://keepright.ipax.at/report_map.php?schema=20&error=5357196). >From the prior discussion, I decided to wait a couple of weeks in order to ensure that the floating island errors were real and not some sort of processing error. The problem has proved to be persistent. From reviewing the areas in ID and Potlach 2, they seem to relate somehow to the importation of CanVec v6.0 data into the map. In each case, the line separating the "connected" from the "disconnected" is an arbitrary one represented by a polygon area designated as "wood". Interestingly, the error is ignored in the navigation application I tried. Inverness routes south to Port Hawkesbury without any problems. This points to the issue being on Keeprights side and not the actual map. If that is the case, then there is little problem, other than that keepright cannot be relied upon to identify floating island within Newfoundland, Labrador, part of Quebec and part of Nova Scotia. I'm not sure if potentially rolling back the imports would make a difference. In that case, I would ask a more seasoned mapper with experience with reversions and imports to actually perform such a thing. Let me know what you think. Adam
