Hi all, I'm guilty! Actually, I'm importing the Canvec road network in Laval (north of Montreal) because I've done a lot GPS mapping in this area. Last week I used canvec-to-osm to convert the rest of the road network. So, if the tags are not appropriate, something should be modified in the application.
Curiously, I used the same application few weeks ago near Sherbrooke area and did not have that problem?!! Someone can explain it to me? However, I am in the process of correcting the data I imported. It has not only odd tags but a problem using JOSM creates a lot of duplicate ways. Which tags do you suggest I keep/remove? Pierre-Luc suggested me to remove tags with "?" values, any other suggestions? I can easily removed odd tags at the same time I'm correcting my ways.

Tonight I've seen CanVec streets appear in my neighboorhood with odd tags such as: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=45.509963468565353&lon=-73.561728000640869 &zoom=18 name = "?" name2= "?" address:street:leftside="?" address:street:rightside="?" is_in="?" I believe such approach is unproductive as it takes quite a lot of work to clean up the tags afterwards or even to print a nice map without ? everywhere. Tags should not be set to FIXME or "?". They should not be set. Then they'll show up on the "no name" layer. Please someone fix that import script. :) Pierre-Luc _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
