Sam always says I should let people know what I'm up to. Today I'm
actually going to listen... ;-)
I'm working in three areas currently, outward in circles around:
Orangeville (040P), Pickering (030M), and Rock Point PP (030L). (and
trying to pull in Lake Ontario shore line)
I'm creating some duplicate roads, temporarily, in the process. I
wanted to detail my process here in case anyone notices them and starts
scratching their head.
The process I'm following:
1. Remove all existing OSM objects from CanVec grid. (mostly stuff
I've already uploaded)
2. Merge with existing OSM data on the layer.
3. Delete any "attribution:GeoBase highway=*" roads. Trying to
preserve any roads that CanVec doesn't have but it's hard since a lot of
the areas I'm doing don't have any GPS tracks.
3a. Where the duplicates come in... I'm leaving any roads that go off
grid, at least to an area I haven't processed yet. Then when I get to
that area I remove/merge them.
4. Go over the area and merge/delete any roads manually added or that
have no source (where no GPS track)
5. Merge any duplicate objects, that I missed or previously existed.
Areas I'm staying away from: Toronto! I'm not going near that one, too
much existing or conflicting data. I'll let someone living in Toronto
to pick up that mess. :-)
