GeoBase matches up with what Google and Yahoo street maps say, although Google's newly added physical "detail" leaves much to be desired. Google shows the ploughed fields to be riddled with sloughs where both Google and Yahoo satellite imagery don't show such. This is a really good spot to see just how the road matcher script tries to keep from modifying existing ways in the database. The holes in the GeoBase import match areas where the old Township Road 84 geometry ran. Using the transparent overlay capability provided at Sauter.com makes it really interesting and easy to compare different sources. http://sautter.com/map/?zoom=15&lat=49.66927&lon=-112.90164&layers=B00000TFFFFF James VE6SRV _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
