Sam:

 I don't know of any source for Ontario street names -- If CanVec has this and we can use canvec and it links to geobase then I would be very interested is scripting the street names.

Canvec does seem to have railroads (I haven't looked at canvec at all) and I definitely want that.

So on my list of scripts to write (after the geobase import set I working on now) are

rivers from geobase
railroads from canvec
streetnames from ??? [ I had thought I would have to wait for years until geobase rolled them out in Ontario]

I now have a script that can do is_in for streets if I have county or city boundaries -- I made my own for areas near London ontario, but does anyone know if there are county boundaries available somewhere?

I guess I'll be busy ... :)

Anyway, I'm wondering about weather or not your planning on having  another script that would be able to import the road names? .. . or you think it would be better off that they get manually entered in, from survey?

I guess that as long as the data shows the same tag reference, it doesn't really matter what method was used. Right? I think so.
