I noticed that yesterday... I'm much happier now, Canada is starting to look like it has some mapping going on. It's no longer a blank slate. Of course now that the borders are rendered at a level when you can see the data, I see that there are multiple borders around Alberta. Every time we make the data in the database visible, we find more problems! Oh well, it was an easy fix... I had a look and found that it was some lunk-head by the user name of VE6SRV that put imprecise borders in place... Just deleted them from the database, and now all should render nicely. Oh yeah, there's only one North America... even if those silly people to the south of us think they can label themselves as if they are the only inhabitants of the Americas! So, while poking around, I notice that again we have these node remnants... big old green dots along the way that don't describe anything. We've seen this quite often before, mostly part of mass imports. The lakewalker script left these behind on shorelines, the GeoBase road import left them as well. Now again they are here on the border import. Do we need to look at fixing the way the automated imports happen, or fixing the import routines to be able to handle the speed at which the data is thrown at it, or do we just live with it? It also looks like Daniel Patterson was importing the continental divide as well. Lots of nodes, but it doesn't look like a way was described. Is there a tag for the continental divide? I did a quick look in the wiki, and didn't see it. They might have a tag in the watershed project. The continental divide is a feature that is described on a lot of maps. Here's where to look: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.7998&lon=-119.977&zoom=13 James VE6SRV _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
