Hi, Priority: So we need to find out exactly the update frequency of both GeoBase & CanVec and if its based on the same Origional data.
Nid's: Its apparent when looking at the shape files that every node has a NID. when i bring it into gpsmapedit, it looses that relation. So creating a combined map as an mp file, wouldnt work. There needs to be a way to import the shape files so it will show in josm with its NID, and having the right osm tag (min 2 tags for each file; source= & point/way/area type=*) Examine each CanVec zip files contents: It appears that each tile set would have the same batch of files, so a program that can convert each type is needed. (taking only what we want to import to osm.) NRN: If every node/way already has an NID, weather or not it is complete with house #, rd name or just road, as long as the nodes of the roads has nid's, the mapping program can still work, as there always will be updates. Priority: import those tiles with minimal osm data, that has road name# After the 1st import is done, with all basic roads in there; this update program would be able to detect if a 'name' field exists; if it does, then the update wouldnt update that road 'way', (if it doesnt have that field, it would import) if the imported node has the 'address:housenumber' field tag, then the import for that node wouldnt happen. (if it doesnt, it would happen) and so 4 rest of data: I would recomend that... It seems that all would be available in tile or province or region? We really need to define clearly; What data is available to us?; What the process is for each data type is?; What (if any) data doesnt need updating?; Who the people are who are doing which parts of the import?; What the time frame is, how long to wait for users, who might be able to help, but are too busy with 'day job' but DO want to help? > 2. GeoBase import team meeting (?) ya, im available to chat via, gmail. I do have a headset and video for chat, if u see me online, im happy to go over details... & questioned :@) cheers, Sam _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
