Hello Canadian mappers,

Sam Vekemans suggested I ask the following here:

What is the relationship between CanVec data and GeoBase data?

To this layperson they seem to be two initiatives hosted by the same government that seem to have similar objectives. Almost like the left hand not talking to the right hand.

Can anyone explain briefly the differences? For example, it seems to me that GeoBase is "closer" to the data authors, and CanVec feeds from that, and CanVec concentrates on having complete coverage at particular scales (like 1:50k).
Am I on the right track?
Is there a government document that goes into detail?

My interest is to pick out the best bits to seed CommonMap with. I'm looking for accuracy and timeliness.


Brendan
