Cool, your in the sherbrook tile right? I'll add that to the list to convert. What NTS tile is that again?
Re: geobaseNHN there are a few more 'nit-picks' of differences from canvec (besides river names) that i need to look at. -and i'll need to also view that latest catelogue pdf, to get the whole list of updates :) and yup, your right getting all the features in 1 zip is easier for everyone. :) -i'll add rivers to the 'extra' folder, once i examine the source data :) I just prefer to get the best quality of data available, than be making data available quicklier but greater risks of errors. Thanks everyone for reporting errors so far! :) cheers, Sam On 10/21/09, Daniel Begin <[email protected]> wrote: > Bonjour Sam, bonjour tout le monde! > > I was almost certain and yesterday I got confirmation from NRCan that Canvec > has "Geobase inside" - Canvec Road and Hydro network are a COPY of Geobase > NRN-NHN. > > It says that everything added in Geobase since the last Canvec release is > included in the new release.
