Hello all
It's been awhile since I've had the time to do more than casual editing,
but I'm looking at an import project in the territories and want to make
sure there aren't going to be any issues.
I'm hoping to import the land claims land boundaries in the territories

Hi everyone
Sorry for bringing this up, but I need to some Canvec importing. Given the
controversy about Canvec earlier this month, I'm trying to decide how to do
this. I could:
- Leave the forests out entirely.
- Or use it as an opportunity to experiment with the Manitoba Lands
Initiative
I took a break to make supper, so I'm going to have to respond
collectively.
- Sammuell and sammuell_imports are my accounts. Both the forest and the
lake are from Canvec data imported together as in the same tile. I Imported
the whole thing (I would never import over existing data that

I'm doing a Canvec Import (Version 10, not the OGL version) in NW Ontario.
I came across some crudely traced lakes that had names lacking the Canvec
data. I contacted the editor to verify the source and status of these
names. When I hear back I plan to attach the names to the Canvec

Currently I'm working on importing the Canvec tiles that make up Lac Seul

Unfortunately I work Monday evenings, so unless people are cool with
starting around 22:00 I'm out. Even so you're right, we should get
something going in Winnipeg. I tried a few years ago but it didn't really
work out.
Regardless we should see who's been editing in the Winnipeg area recently

We had a similar problem in Winnipeg, the old higher-res imagery was
removed in favour of the lower res but newer stuff (or maybe it was the
other way around, I can't remember) Microsoft just replace the imagery with
good quality stuff that's just a few months old. (it's fresher than google
maps)
Is there a timeline for converting Canvec 12 to OSM XML? If not, could I

Hi
I'm currently working on importing Canvec tile 063I05. I noticed that the
islands in the Nelson River (of which there are many) have the forest area
offset significantly from the inner way for water. This means that the area
boundaries are offset, even though the geometry is almost identical,

A while back I changed tagged the southern half of Lake Winnipeg as

for Canvec I would have to walk every street with a GPS

I beg to differ, the OSM wiki states The place=locality tag can be
used to name unpopulated place which is not associated with any
feature to which such a tag could be associated.
By default many small or unpopulated places are tagged as localities

Actually both of the highway locations I cited are not from any

Winnipeg's online data is limited and locked down. However, the data

Canvec has the same problem, stations that had service many years ago

track.

In regards to Andrew and Richard's comments, I find place:locality to
be suitable for this situation. I have used it for places like
Diamond, Manitoba. It has also been used to mark highway junctions
with names (such as Confusion Corner in Winnipeg).
Sam
Excellent, but is the City of Winnipeg aerial imagery kosher for use
with OSM? I was under the impression that the aside from the Transit
Department, the city doesn't believe in open data. Are you using a WMS
server to access it or downloading the images and loading them into
JSOM?

Hi
I'm sending this around to see what the interest level among Winnipeg OSMers
is. Since most roads are mapped, I was thinking of adding features such as
postboxes, public phones and restaurants in the Downtown area. I've already
contacted some people individually and will be contacting more.
