[Talk-ca] Accuracy of CanVec vs Yahoo?

2010-07-06 Thread G. Michael Carter
When importing the data do we favour yahoo existing data in OSM (which is obviously traced from satellite imagery) or CanVec? I'm assuming CanVec for parks would be based on official park boundaries rather than yahoo, line of site on open spaces. So parks would be better coming from CanVec.

Around Vancouver I have found CanVec buildings to be quite inaccurate, so i would use Yahoo there. Best to do some mapping on the ground though with your GPS so you can be sure that Yahoo is properly rectified because I know quite a few areas in my neighborhood where yahoo imagery is off by like

Hi, There is also the Spot5 imagery :) and the CanTopo geoTIFFs to compare. for those parks that i origionally converted, you need to compare with CanTopo as that is more accurate. and as Russel and Tyler Just mentioned. It's really a combo of both. and check the local GPS tracks this is

Bonjour Michael About accuracy: Canvec should usually be better than 10m (90%) for road network and 30m for other features. We know that Yahoo imagery often have offsets. However, you better have plenty of gps tracks to take a decision. By the way, there is no park boundaries in Canvec

Nope :) Painfull copy/paste. And hide/show canvec.osm layer to see whats missing. I just work in a small corner of the tile and work my way around, deleting the copied in features from the canvec.osm file as i go, and save this 'smaller version' locally on my computer as a working copy. The
