Hi,
That sounds great!
It looks like it could possably go well with Tylers progress of house
numbers using StatsCan.
It would be great to see a little more of Nova Scotia mapped, 020o16

Hi all,
I'm working on getting the outer perimeter of Canada's national
protected areas imported.
With special interest in the Bouford Sea, where there are currently
passages through that part just south of the arctic circle, to get to
greenland and to europe that way.

Just forwarding this to the talk-ca list, yet another reason to not
copy from the Trans Canada Trails data, as the sources are so mixed,
that you can't assume that these trails even exist.
They could have been traced from a local council maps, that was an
'legal' estimate in the 1st place.
So all
Hi Tyler,
What distance did you use? I was to use 0.0001 degree (about 10 meters in
Halifax) for addressing in Canvec.osm. What would you suggest?
For all, concerning adderssing tags, I am going to use...

Hi Tyle,
The work you are doing is excellent, I just wanted to alert you to an
issue with rural numbering (in case you are unaware of it).
Our 'street' (subdivision) does not have linear numbering; that is the
number sequence increases from the start of the road, but has gaps ie.
Dear All,
Here is an announcement from Steve Coast regarding another step in the
long, slow process of improving the OpenStreetMap data license.
I've paraphrased [] one portion of his email where he originally had
broken links.
The license change is a good thing. I'm looking forward to it being
Not all street numbers are used even in the suburbs. For example in Ottawa
houses with 50 foot lots have their numbers incremented in fours not two. I
don't think it matters too much the interpolation will give you an
approximate location which can be corrcted by some one on the ground if

Ottawa City organised a hack fest around open data. You've probably seen

to be something that was commented favourably on. It was done using an

Awesome.
Its probably a bit early to be digging for gold (gps tracks from KTA
