Bryan, I would have to agree with your argument. I have some knowledge of the forestry GIS that is used here in NB and it would be a daunting task to include cut blocks in the forest. There is more than enough OSM work in Canada just getting the road network built it would be

Hi all, just for your information. The Canvec vegetation layer will be replaced by a state of the art image classification. It is based on a subset of the GeoBase Land Cover product. I don't know if cut blocks will be included or excluded of the wooded areas. Daniel

Good Morning Everyone, Thanks for the feedback on my question about mapping cut blocks in wooded areas. I do appreciate it and understand the points that are being made by Daniel, Bryan and Bernie. I've thought a lot about this, however, and would like to address some of the points as it

One more… My crew and I would sometimes (not often, but sometimes) get lost while tracking down timber stands or cutblocks because our maps were out of date and not accurate enough…and we were a local crew. I can’t tell how many times we had to direct southern planting crews and the odd

[Talk-ca] Did I just find a potentially significant bug in JOSM?

I've spent the past several hours trying to find out out why some of my edits resulted in some accidental road removals. I think I've found the problem, which seems to relate to an apparent bug in JOSM, or at least a preference somewhere set to something unintuitive that I haven't been able to

Dan... Have to admit that I VERY rarely if ever use the fix button, and then only after I've isolated the issue for a specific error or warning. I do errors first, then warnings. But after each correction, I revalidate to refresh the list. Maybe that's overkill, but it keeps the exceptions from

Thanks Adam, and everyone else who responded to my message. I'm glad to learn the bug is repeatable by others - that means I'm not going completely crazy. Plus, it's nice to have a good understanding now why some of the ways I'd uploaded had mysteriously disappeared. I'm glad you were able
