On Mon, 1 Jun 2009, SteveC wrote: Stupid question, you guys importing addressing too? Not yet. A few provinces have address data as part of GeoBase (but most don't). However the StatsCan data does include block face addresses for all the provinces. We've talked about importing offset address interpolation ways, someone just needs to write a script to do it. (might not happen until the base roads are imported in all the provinces, but on the todo list) Steve On 31 May 2009, at 21:38, Michael Barabanov wrote: It is nice to see more people importing the GeoBase data.

- Michael Barabanov arranged a host of electrons thusly: - [snip] I've also captured my notes at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/More_details_on_GeoBase_import_processand fixed minor details in http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geobase_NRN_-_OSM_Map_Feature. If people think the additional notes are useful, I can merge this info into the description on the main Geobase import page. Oh, sweet. I was just working on getting the postgres things working (having tried to do various bits previously with osmosis, and having realised that it's not up to dealing with the NRN data). Those instructions are really helpful. I had gotten to importing the road segment data, and was flailing a bit :) So, thanks, and please do merge your notes. They'll prove useful to anyone else who hasn't played with this stuff before. I'm thinking about doing an import for BC's south okanagan (tiles 082E05, 082E12, possibly 082E04). cheers, Austin -- Build a man fire, he'll be warm for a day.

[snip] The canvec2osm script is STILL in BETA, this the tags that have been chosen can still be fixed, with out that much trouble. Which is why im not broadcasting the fact that some samples are available. (if there's an error, and the tile is already loaded. .. it's hard to manually fix it.) [snip] And finally, I hope you all underrstand the reasoning for me not releasing the BETA script until all the bugs are taken care of. (fortunatly for me, it's seems that more peope are anxtious for the roads than everything else. :) You've probably heard the open source maxim: release early, release often. You might get some useful feedback on the source if you did. Food for thought -- I'm not going to push someone to release code before they feel it's ready for public consumption. Here's the 092c13 ucluet, BC area now. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.9576lon=-125.5573zoom=12layers=B000FTF Wow, that really changes the look of the map. My only question is about what happens to the straight line border at the edge of the tile when you go to import the next one. Do the areas get joined up, or are there incident borders over the length of the area? If the latter is the case, do the folks who know about these things think it would be hard to de-duplicate them later (or does it even matter?) so that the (eg wooded area) can be interpreted properly? Looks good though, to my eye. cheers, Austin. ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
[Talk-ca] Cranbrook, BC mapping party
Hi all, if anyone happens to be Cranbrook, BC area from wednesday to sunday, i'll be their mapping as well as learning all about trailsBC at the AGM. My plan is to physically find the 3 surface type connecting to along the -local; regional; provincial ; federal routes. As well as (cautiously) import canvec data if time. If anyone is in the area, or wants to take a drive. It would be a nice break away. I'd be happy to make time to meet ya.
