Re: [Talk-ca] Larder Lake, Ontario completely missing

2013-10-02 Thread James Mast 



1. I don't have access to the Canvec data that includes the road names.
2. I didn't know if somebody was planning an import in that area.
3. I tend to stay out of areas that I'm not really failure with in Ontario as 
I've never been that far North in Ontario (Canada Wonderland is about as far as 
I've ever gone).

So, in other words, I wanted to leave it to somebody that knows the Canvec data 
better as I've never done an import.

 Why ask someone else to import the town? OSM makes it possible for
 everyone and anyone to edit the map. That's one of the main premises
 behind the OSM model.

Hello:

For what's it is worth, I'm slowly systematically importing Canvec
data. This is one really, really big country :-) Did I say really big.

For example Tile 0.0 then 0.1 then 0.2 etc

I'm up to Tile 041 I04 2.3

http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/CanvecImports/edits

So if you like I could jump ahead or behind as is this case :-)

Looks like the area you are referencing is 032 D 04

It is a painfully slow process of merging wetlands and forests,
removing duplicate nodes etc. I'm doing this by hand, while reviewing
the data quality of the import.

Hi Steve,
You wrote that one of the hardest parts was to figure out what set to
download from Canvec ftp site...

There was a link in the Canvec Wiki page to find out what file to download
(using the NTS map number like 021E05) but it is broken now.  I found
another way to find it out. Go to...

http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/toporama/index.html#

Use the Toggle NTS Grid (grey icon next to the map scale) to make the NTS
grid visible
Zoom-in on your area of interest, the NTS map number displayed fits the file
available from the Canvec ftp site 
(NTS 21e5 is file 021E05.zip).

Daniel

Subject: Re: [Talk-ca] Larder Lake, Ontario completely missing

When I initially started adding to/editing OSM maps it was roads and trails
from my GPS data.  However in BC there are large areas where there is
nothing on the map - so after finding this:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canvec#Canvec_Product_-_Datasets
I managed to d/l some tile sets from CanVec, added some roads, lakes,
streams etc using Potlatch 2.  I kept notes on what tiles from each set I
had imported and make the edits as time allowed.

It's probably slower than using JOSM, but I found it easier to use.

One of the hardest parts (for me) is to figure out what set to d/l from
http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/OSM/pub/

So my question is:  Using Potlatch 2, what is the best/easiest way to figure
out what set to d/l?  Using the original question of the Larder Lake area in
Ontario how would I get this info?
Or if someone was to give me a GPS coordinate how could i find the tile set
for that area?

Thanks
Steve
