Adding Trans Canada Trail in Cranbrook & Kimberley<http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/acrosscanadatrails/diary/6419> * Im adding more traces from Tracks that i did back in summer 2007, as well as from the tracks from the tctrail.ca website. AFAIK, it's fine to trace. .. but i use extra caution, and tagged with the source, because i wasn't that person who made the tracks. For the part that is shown on the map, it was some of my traces.. so now with 2 tracks, it helps with accuracy. You can see on the tags that i went with the same source standard that i have been using for canvec, listing all the sources with the original text, then adding the appropriate OSM tags. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/146837 Im still going to make each paths separate, then have the whole route as a relation, then have a relation which ties in both the Cranbrook & Kimberley trails (but not sure how todo that just yet :) . ... as while your on the Cranbrook trail, it's actually many different surface types and usages. (ie in town, where the pavilion is, it's a paved path, suitable for rolerblades, while out on the trail in the wild it's hiking. That's why i listed the source surface type with it's own tag. Then the relation can have CanVec Import: In this NTS tile area (082g12 cranbrook north) there are other trails which are available to import (hiking trails). ... i just havent imported them yet. Why? Because of the Bug 12 where the french translation doesn't how up right. (as little boxes characters) and also because its still in BETA phase with the other bugs. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Canvec2osm#Bug_11:_French_Characters Hey, does anyone have any objection to me using JOSM to upload the trails file??? as it really isnt THAT much data (just about as much as my manual editing)?? .. and also, the french for Trail is 'Sentier' (which doesnt have accents) (and I could do so, using the Geobase:Acrosscanadatrails login, so it could be removed on-mass if needed. or just that import session would be removed if needed.
