Hi all,
Last week i got re-aquanted with the CanMatrix CanTopo PDF maps,
that are available for us to trace from.
Note: Once all of the CanVec data has been imported (manually
copying) we ask, whats next?
The CanTopo PDF maps are basically the newer version of CanMatrix.
Where there are
Hi,
I'm cc'ing your notice to talk-ca.
So the CanMatrix TIFFs, although georeferenced, they are older.
However, they can still be used with Merkaarator.
For those of you who have been under a rock about Merkaarator, (like
me) the editing tool is very good.
It allows nice viewing of WMS layers,
Hi Sam,
In shapefile format, the natural choice is Statistics Canada Census
Subdivision boundaries (the most recent is for 2010). Census
subdivisions are typically municipalities or equivalents. Here is the

Cool, that just added another todo list item :)
And so, the GeoTIFFs, albiet dated, can be used as a handy backdrop background.
Sorting the data by physical geographical area, seems to be what the
cool people does these days.
NTS grid is prefered.
Cheers,
Sam

For those of you who have been under a rock about Merkaarator, (like

It allows nice viewing of WMS layers, which seems to be better than
JOSM.
So out of curiosity, does Markaator allow direct opening of the TIFF
files? JOSM doesn't seem to allow this.
What
JOSM is currently allergic to GeoTIFFs.
The only direct way around it is to use the PicLayer plugin and take a
screanshot view of an area and manually move it around.
An option is to use mapwarper to make a wms of it, that requires
making control points. So i dont know what is faster.
