Hello list —
My name is Martijn van Exel, I am on the OSM US board and work at Telenav. I’ve
written to this list a few times before, but this time I am doing so with my
Telenav hat on. Perhaps you know that we have the Scout apps (iOS, Android)
which run on OSM data. (If you haven’t yet,
Unrelated, but I noticed that talk-ca is not archived on Nabble yet - this
makes it hard to share and follow a conversation as a non-subscriber. I don’t
know what’s involved in adding this list or if anyone would object?

See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec. CanVec data was
converted to OSM format and is stored at
http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/OSM/pub/, and is split into files based
on the National Topographic System, and then data was imported in some
parts of Canada by manually cutting and pasting data
Also see Ordinance Survey Locator Musical Chairs
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OS_Locator_Musical_Chairs and
http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map for a
comparison tool comparing UK Ordinance Survey data with OSM data,
similar to the TIGER fixup tool.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for elaborating on the CanVec / Geobase imports! This also raises new
questions.. See below.

A lot of the data in Canada was imported from CanVec and Geobase,
some of it by me several years ago. The imported data is pretty poor
quality in many places. I haven't done much work on this recently, as
imports have a bad reputation in OSM and I am mostly concerned with
surveying. For example:
If this is the consensus, I've been blissfully unaware and the wiki needs to be
updated. The Canadian tagging guidelines
(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canadian_tagging_guidelines#Regional_roadways_.28below_provincially_controlled.29)
recommend using unclassified when not in residential
A few things I can think of:

- There seems to be a strong consensus that what elsewhere would be
highway=unclassified is highway=residential, no matter if the
