Hi Jason,Im forwarig this off to you, but i imaging you already know this stuff. It'll take me a little bit to try and understand how MapServer works, just need to go over the documentation.
This is the BDNT dataset, which is no longer valid, as GeoBase has the WMS feed, and CanVec does also (i think). Happy Holidays, Sam Vekemans Across Canada Trails ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: SIMON MERCIER <simon.merc...@msp.gouv.qc.ca> Date: Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 6:50 AM Subject: Rép. : GeoBase Import to OpenStreetMap project To: acrosscanadatra...@gmail.com Hi Sam Yes you can do that easily with OpenLayers. If I understand wath you want, I add a simple raster map off BNDT(from cits) in OpenLayers. To do this you can use this URL and check out what you want to add in your own map. http://wms.cits.rncan.gc.ca/cgi-bin/cubeserv.cgi I have a demo in this web site(so sorry sam it's only in french) http://geomsp.msp.gouv.qc.ca/ the demo page is here http://geomsp.msp.gouv.qc.ca/demomsp/demo_ol.html and the map with the CITS WMS is here... you have to switch it in the layers controls http://geomsp.msp.gouv.qc.ca/demomsp/base.html Yes, if you want you can also dowload data on your server. 1)You can build your own TileCache(http://tilecache.org/) with the CITS WMS(a TileCahce map is very very fast). 2)You can download source data and map it, but you have to use MapServer for this and it's a HUGE amount of work to merge data and map it! And yes, you can also use tools in OpenLayers to digitize news information(polygon, line, point) on WMS map and save it on your server. There a lot off possibilities I hope this will help you in your research sam cheers Simon Mercier Analyste en Géomatique DTI - Service de l'infrastructure et du réseau Direction des technologies de l'information Ministère de la Sécurité publique 2525, boulevard Laurier, Tour du Saint-Laurent, 10e étage Québec (QC) G1V 2L2 Téléphone : (418) 646-5687 Télécopie : (418) 643-0787 Courriel : simon.merc...@msp.gouv.qc.ca >>> <acrosscanadatra...@gmail.com> 18/12/2008 21:29 >>> Hi there, Im wondering if perhaps you can help, i saw your thread from http://www.nabble.com/Multiple -images-in-a-group-layer-to20816129.html#a20835359 I would like to try and see if it's possible to get all the data that is available from GeoBase/CanVec tiles, and shown on a slippy map. So then it can be used on openstreetmap, so users can use the map to trace with, where needed... and so, for updated of GeoBase data, this slippy map will be able to show the most current information.
