Harald, It seems that these are property only an not house plans. But this can surely help for contiguous houses where it is hard to delimit. See U. of McGill description http://www.mcgill.ca/library/library-findinfo/maps/cadast There is also the landuse file See U. of McGill description

[Talk-ca] New Bing imagery in Montreal

2013-03-03 Thread Harald Kliems
Hey everyone, I've just noticed that the Bing aerial imagery in my neighborhood has changed. We used to have pretty good images but they were from 2007. While doing some edits I noticed that the quality suddenly has gotten much worse and looking at the tile info it now shows that the imagery is

You are lucky then. Just the other day Saint John area got updated with stuff from late 2012. its great that they are getting around to updating it but the imagery is more oblique than vertical making it very difficult to trace. As well they are really low quality compared to their predecessors.

With the new Montreal open data, perhaps they have aerial photography they can release? Or perhaps they already have, but I couldn't find any. If someone can get it, I can host it. From: nicholas ingalls [mailto:nicholas.inga...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, March 03, 2013 11:18 AM To: Harald

[Talk-ca] Sewage dump stations

Folks One object that is of significant interest to RVs is the location of sewage dump stations. I know of two in my small town one of which is hidden away behind a gas station on a main highway and the other more logically placed in the provincial park campground. I don't see any way to
