Cool, so i take that as confirmation we can use it for OSM. Awesome. Its probably a bit early to be digging for gold (gps tracks from KTA anyway) as its hard to find trails when the railway/ and/or abandoned/telegraph trail line isn't mapped yet. And point of reference is still difficult in black space.
I think that once these parks get mapped, ... canvec geobase.... we will see more activity anyway. ... otherwise i'll need to bike up their myself... although i hear the distance is a little daunting. Thanks again, I'll keep in touch for when i finish converting it all. It will be great to compare with the Aboriginal_lands areas that i already am working with from geobase, and the data from Atlas of Canada P.S. Wow, yup NRCan is a BIG warehouse with many shelves. http://clss.nrcan.gc.ca/data-donnees-eng.php For the talk-ca list: you can see that the 'GeoBase - Aboriginal Lands' is what user:Neskie started converting for BC, and i went ahead and converted the rest. (the tags are still debatable.. as always) and so, PLEASE, if anyone is working on some of the other datasets, please let the talk-ca list know about it, and update the wiki with some kind of reference, there is ALOT of data available, and i dont claim ownership to it :-) Anyone who has learned how todo the conversion is free to jump in and help. (As i do want these things done, they are on my list ... but if others beet me to it, that's fine by me) On 5/12/10, Matt Wilkie <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Sam, > > 1000k and 250k parks data c.2008 is available from > http://www.environmentyukon.ca/geomatics/govdata.html.
