[Talk-ca] Fredericton Open Data

2013-01-02 Thread nicholas ingalls
I've been looking around to find out the status of the Fredericton Open
Data page but have only been able to dig up an old conversation saying
the license was incompatible but the city was considering modifying the
terms.

Did anything come of this? Most of the links in the thread were broken so I
didn't find out what was wrong with the license in the first place other
than it was compared to the Vancouver license and was
probably unintentionally restrictive.

Cheers,
ingalls

Re: [Talk-ca] Fredericton WMS Offset

2013-01-02 Thread Andrew Buck
Hi,

I am not from the area, but I did want to post my 2 cents about this
issue.  Your idea of how the offset got started sounds correct.  I
would caution you though that GPS traces can be offset, too, due to
atmospheric effects.  To really get a good trace with no offset you
need to do a few traces on different days of the same road (or path is
better since it is narrow) and through an area with few buildings
around as these can cause offsets, too.

Other than those issues, if you trust your traces then I see no reason
not to fix the offset, but as I said make sure your traces are good
first.
