[Talk-ca] Canvec in Potlatch 2

2012-07-03 Thread Richard Fairhurst 

Hello talk-ca people,

I've made a little change to Potlatch 2 that will ease the process of 
loading Canvec data.


Potlatch's approach is very much here is some data that you can use to 
help your mapping, rather than here is some data you can upload in 
bulk, and the idea is that you load the data as a vector background 
then pull through the bits you want.


You can find out how to do this at:

cheers
Richard

Sweet! I was tempted to go to the dark side to be able to import
CanVec data with Merkaartor or JOSM, but I missed the intuitive
interface that Potlatch provides.

Not only do I have my cake, but I get to eat it as well... I think
there's even icing on it these days!

Thanks for all the work you do making these tools so easy to use and
integrated so well!
