I'm working on converting the StatsCan census boundaries to OSM format. Here are a few smaller cities/towns in Manitoba to give you an idea of what they look like imported: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/66090425 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/66090418 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/66091364
Please comment on the tagging I've added to these; I followed the boundaries of some locales in the US. I have set the admin_level to 8 (cities towns (see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Admin_level#10_admin_level_values_for_specific_countries)) since I think the big thing we're after is the city and town boundaries, right? I have no way of knowing from the boundaries data what kind of area (city, RM or otherwise) I'm dealing with. You'd also have to change the place=city to whatever is appropriate; be it city, village, etc. I did this for the examples above. My big question is: Should we be bringing in JUST the cities/towns/village boundaries? My person thought is that y If you'd like to take a look at the converted OSM file for MB, it's available at the following URL: www.egunn.com/dl/statcan_boundaries_mb.zip Tyler _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
